I may be a cack-handed southpaw but over the years I've learnt to cope, so using a computer mouse, a spoon or scissors is not a problem. Besides I'm in good company; David Bowie, Paul Klee, Jean Paul Gaultier, Kurt Cobain, Leonardo Da Vinci, both Mozart and Beethoven, Gary Oldman, Michael Stipe... it's a good list.
So they say often creative minds are left-handed, something to do with the right-hemisphere of your brain being dominant, apparently.
Well I met my match the other day. I needed to get some prints matted and and framed to be hung for a small exhibition in a local hotel, so off I went and bought frames, board and a bloody expensive mat cutter, which claimed to be 'for right-handed or left-handed users'. Snort. After a long battle involving me doing some very elaborate arm crossing, trying to hold everything down with my chin and elbows, I ended up losing with a cut thumb.
Eventually, with the help of a right-handed assistant, and a good glass of cold rosé, we managed to get them all done!
