sofia/sophia

If I’m working creatively (on the right side of my brain) I have this habit of completely screwing up things I’m trying to incorporate that are more intellectual (and utilize the left of my brain).
Like when I’m drawing things, if I add in little captions with pretty lettering, chances are I will misspell something grossly.

Exhibit A:

sofia/sophia

Sofia Coppola spells her name with an F (not a PH).
I know this.
I have purposefully memorized this fact.
I even named my dolly after her.
But then what do I write down?
Sophia.
I could have photo-shopped it out, but that would have just been a lie.

    The creative side is the Right brain! The left is the analytical side.

    I just bought a vintage contstruct-your-own stamp at a thrift store to ’sign’ and date my work with. Great minds and all that.
