ONE SPACE OR TWO?: Every once in a while, it’s fun to examine the minutia of everyday living. That’s just what a writer at Slate is doing in an extensive piece taking to task those who would dare to use two spaces after the end of a sentence. We here at Art&Seek are dedicated one-spacers. (All of us have served time at newspapers, where that is the M.O.) But I know that at least I was taught in school that two spaces was the way to go. So it’s easy to see why the discrepancy is out there. If this sounds like a minor subject to argue about, it most certainly is. But there must be some reason why the Slate post has sparked nearly 1,900 comments.

COLLECTIVE ART: These days, more and more art projects are collaborative in nature. Someone has an idea and then that person seeks helpers to pull it off.

PIN-UPS FOR SALE: Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries is launching a new auction series in which it will sell pin-up art from some of the biggest names in the field. The series, called the Signature Illustration Art Auction, will be held Feb. 11-12 and feature work by Alberto Vargas and Haddon Sundblom, among others. If that sounds like your kinda thing, there is one catch – you’ll have to head out to Heritage’s Beverly Hills office to take a look.
