I've noticed on blogs recently that they've been creating posts featuring facts about them (like Madi Illustration has on her blog). I've really enjoyed reading these random facts, and as I haven't been very active on the net recently I thought it would be a good opportunity to join in. I'd love to hear your facts too :) Enjoy.
1. I hold a pen/pencil in a very unusual way.
