  Thanks for visiting, glad you like the site. The drawings are done directly on the computer with a mouse – I use my right hand – which is weird because I’m left-handed… hence the name of the blog. The lettering is a typeface I created of my own handwriting, which is really handy (pardon the pun) for changing wording at the last minute – which I do more often than I should.
