Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jesse Bunk.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Hello, Hello Elliott, how are you.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I am well, how are you doing ma'am?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh my gosh, I'm great. I was just woken up
by my mom to give you guys a call. Apparently
I was mentioned on the radio.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Oh you were quite the Did you have surgery? Are
you store bought ambidexters or are you legit?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I am legit. So I'm dyslexic. Actually, so I have
a bit of a neurodivergency going on with me, and
my brain works slightly differently. I really think that being
ambidextress comes from that, and I discovered it when I
was in elementary school, but the teachers told me to
stop using both my hands.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah right, I was reading that so like you would
you would just do that. It wasn't until years later.
But now can I ask you this, like, by the way,
your artwork is beautiful? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Are you able to are you like when you just
started up again?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Because like at least what I was reading about you,
it talked about how in school your teachers yelled they
didn't want you doing it where you would like just
kind of switch in the middle of a sentence and
switch hands when you picked it up later. Was it
just as natural as that it just went back to
be in both hands.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I feel like it was. I was honestly sitting on
the beach waiting to get diagnosed full transparency with the
reproductive health issues I had, because I had got over
a decade without getting diagnosed, and the sentence had been
just getting worse and worse. When I went to the
hospital in twenty twenty, worst case scenario, they thought I
(01:34):
had some sort of reproductive health cancer. So in the
process of waiting to get diagnosed, I was sitting on
the beach and I started drawing with both my hands
at the same time. I just remembered that I could
do it as a kid, and I started doing it again,
and so it happened to stop.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Hey, So we were trying to figure a couple of
other things out about you. If you were just sitting
you were going to write me a thank you note,
and I threw it. I threw a pen to you,
like you're you're not gonna just You're not going to
keep switching back and forth.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Do you have a dominant hand?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I think I'm right hand dominant for sure, So.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You would just naturally run back and forth. You do?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Can you write two sentences at the same time using
both hands?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Can you write two different sentences at the same time
using both hands?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yes, takes me a longer time, but yes, and both
of them.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Let like I could read both of them. Because Diane
tried it. It's horrible.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, you know that's so awesome she tried it. I
actually just let a workshop last week for a local
organization that I speak with, and about thirty five of
the staff members tried it, and they thought it was amazing.
Anyone can try bilateral drawling. I always encourage people to.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Do it, Okay, but that but like I was watching
a video where you were drawing like grass or painting
grass where it's just green.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Hell, Jesse, I could do that absolutely, thank you, Jesse.
Just moving my hands back and forth.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
It's when it starts getting like detailed, detailed and intricate, I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Out, Jesse. Just tell him none ever we can then
sell it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Everyone has different abilities, but like I like I'm saying,
the bilateral drawing is something anyone can do. Anyone can
try to draw with both their hands at the same time,
and by doing that, that can stimulate the brain, both
sides of the hemisphere, just like playing guitar or typing,
playing video games. That could really get your mind and
(03:39):
your body connected by having that repetitive movement.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
So do you believe that everybody could be ambidexterous? Not
bilateral drawing, but everybody could be ambidextrous.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
No, unfortunately not, because if you read about the definition
of ambidexterity, it's people usually having the natural ability to
use both hands equally. Not everyone has that ability, and
bilateral drawling, as you can see, can be challenging for people.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh yeah, of course you're talking to one of them.
The different languages. Oh can you write? Yeah, we learned
was it Tafft who? No, who was the president? We
learned about Garfield?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Garfield could write one sentence in Greek and the other
sentence in Latin.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Could you do that?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
No, don't.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I don't know any other language besides English.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
If you did, If you did, do you think you'd
be able to.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well, I would have to learn the language, and then
I'd also have to learn how to write the language.
So I can't confidently say that.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay, all right, that's pretty good though, that's pretty good.
I got all kinds of people trying to write two
sentences at the same time and sentence.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, do it. Try it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It does not look good.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And when you were when you were practice, when you
were in elementary school, and you just started doing it,
you weren't doing it for any other reason, like it
just it just came naturally to you, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, I was. I can't remember if it was like
second or third grade, but I was just sitting down
and writing. I wasn't even trying to do anything but
do my work, you know what I mean. Like, but
the teacher didn't like it because I kept switching hands.
That's that's what was upsetting her. I kept taking the
pencil and writing with my left hand on my right
(05:26):
hand and my left hand on my right hand.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And it's like that.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You can write the same thing eating both hands, no problem,
brushing your teeth.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I love to skip rocks with both my hands at
the same time, actually skip ross.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, don't they just go into each other.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
On my Instagram, I have a video actually where I'm
skipping ross with both my hands.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Of crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I think I do it one hand out of time
in that video, but I actually think I'm I'm better
at skipping rocks with my less dominant hand.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Wait, hold on, I'm looking for the video. But I
do see here, Jesse, that people can meet you this
Sunday night. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I'm going to be at an artist market and bazaar
in Frederick. That's the hometown I'm from, Frederick, Maryland.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Right, and so so people can go buy and watch
you do your thing.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, I'm going to be doing a live art demonstration.
I'm also going to be bending original work.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's cool. Good for you, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You shake hands left or right handed? Both.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I use both when I'm creating my art. I usually
use both my hands at the same time.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Gotcha. Got it.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
For ambied extras art, some work I do with one hand,
like I also embroider, I sow. I'm a multimedia artist,
so I like to work with all different types of media.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Me too, all right, Jesse, I appreciate the uh.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I appreciate Hey, hold on one second, let me let
me get your number.
