RE: Studio Visit: Overwhelmed? Do it anyway.

in #art7 years ago

I love that getting your hands all messy helps you to focus. (I realize there is a LITTLE more to it than that). Amazing how that works to take it all down 3 notches and re-set the old noggin. I'm similar in writing. A friend told me I am probably right brained, which I think rings true. And the tactility of typing away on my odd, vertical keyboard seems to increase creativity and such. (As far as the settling in and relaxing, that's more of a no-brain thing. I need a nap). But it is amazing how these things work. Or don't. We are definitely fascinating beings. And never boring, that's for sure.

Great that writing takes you "there"! You are most definitely right brained, I can tell just by your humor alone ;-))
You use a vertical keyboard? never seen one...

I think it's either right brain, or no-brain...probably the first. Glad you think it is humor, sometimes I think it's a bit askance for some folks. Oh well.

I type on a Comfort Keyboard. It has really changed my life. I have a bad wrist, and typing was very very painful. I discovered this in an article in Smithsonian, and now I have little to no wrist pain. I used to give ergonomic talks at work on computer keyboarding and all the rest. It's one of my passions. People are destroying their bodies and it is all VERY simple to alleviate. OK, here I go, better end this now. You can tell it's a 'thing' with me.

There is a picture or two of the Comfort Keyboard in the bottom of this post Keyboard Photos
It's not actually fully vertical when I use it, it just matches the natural pitch of my wrist. As does my mousepad. There I go again...well, have a nice night.
