USING PLASTIC

As if we hadn't spent enough time organizing the studio...we needed a scheme to rid ourselves of hundreds of Pentaflex hanging files full of papers for which we no longer have file cabinets...but how?

Mr. A is holding our solution...one of 25 or so plastic boxes that hold 8.5" x 11" paper with room for file folders as well. We spotted them at Home Depot...the closest Big Box store to our new location. At about $3.88 per box, it's a lot better than trying to store the big file boxes. Also we can label them so we can actually find stuff. A novel thought!

They have lids with easy to use blue hold downs and they stack. So we can say goodbye to the many cardboard file boxes that we've toted from location to location over the years. Did I mention that Jack is purging at least 50% of the scrap files he has collected from magazines since 1976? Artists need lots of photos of all kinds of things for doing drawings. A lot of what Jack had accumulated over the years is so dated that he needed to only keep a small portion...just in case he has to do a drawing based on the 1970's or 80's! Oye!
