This is a pack of Glide dental floss. It’s part of a series I’m drawing of things that support my life — items I could live without but would rather not have to. I’ve been considering items I own, asking myself, “Is this something that supports my life and do I want to draw it (or if not, toss it)?”

ART CITY: On another subject, I want to recommend “Art City,” a 3-DVD documentary about the life of current day artists in New York (available from Netflix). The artists are working in their studios and talking about their work, lives, motivations, creative issues and success (or lack of it) with humor, passion and honesty. Some of the artists in the series are Chuck Close, Elizabeth Murray, and Brice Marden (who draws with long sticks taped together and dipped in ink).

P.S. I changed my template again and on this one you can comment at top or bottom of each post. Is this one easier to read than the previous template?
