You know, I've read many times that artists of all kinds tend to be
left-handed (ie. right-brained). As I mentioned, my parents "switched"
me, at a young age. I still drink coffee, cut meat, paint, etc. with my
left hand, and my penmanship (with the right hand) is not the best.
Food for thought, no?
