Image description first: Two-image photocollage on a black background showing a drawing on cardboard, and the back of the cardboard showing its from a yellow box of compost bags. The words on the label are in french "sans nom®️" (no name) and "sacs compostables pour cuisine" (food compost bags). The drawing is scattered pink or yellow heart-shaped lollipops pointing in different directions. The colours are smudges that are larger circles, outlined in thin white line. The sticks are white. The background is bare cardboard. Ambidextrous: The left side of each lollipop was drawn with my left hand, the right side with my right hand. The pink smudges, and white sticks and circles on the yellow ones were done with my left. The yellow smudges, and white sticks and circles on the pink ones were done with my right. Why: I can't always depend on my right hand to be able to draw without pain, and the reason isn't fixable. (More reasons have been discovered, but I'm waiting on a specialist appointment for full diagnosis/prognosis.) To allow myself to be able to still create, I've been trying to develop my left-handed dexterity. I have the same congenital problem with my left hand as my right, but because I've used my right hand more, my left isn't as bad off as my right.

Fish head scribble - 2025

A girl is sitting with legs outstretched on a swathe of cobalt with a black cat sitting up next to her with its paws on her thigh. She has a black spiky bow, & black sketch elbow patches, and black sketch line trim on her dress. Her head is facing in turned away profile with her unseen mouth open. There is a pink accent from where the cats paw is touching her leg, all the way up the front of her torso, to her neck, then out her mouth, it becomes a scribbly exhale breath, accenting the ballpoint scribble line.

A comic drawing done with my non-dominant hand (left hand) shows a pair of right-handed scissors splayed open with cut paper underneath. The text reads: "TURNS OUT YOU *CAN* DRAW RIGHT HANDED SCISSORS WITH YOUR LEFT HAND" There are cut-out bubbles around the scissors that read "WOW!" "AMAZING!" "CUT. IT. OUT!"
