The new year is already proving difficult, and it's only week three.  Between the polar vortex, issues with travel arrangements, and botched deliveries, our beautifully scheduled content calendar is already mixed up.  That's ok though, because the beauty in having a detailed plan means that I can mix and match elements until the whole schedule makes sense again.  That is exactly what I have been doing all week.  We finished our Board Retreat with Aripa Arte (our new nonprofit), planned and realized our monthly open day, hosted a reception for our tenant exhibition at the studio, and got Bogdan off on a plane to Romania... all before the freezing weather stunned south Texas for three days.  I literally could not shower for three days.The exciting news is that our new book, Collecting Art: An Artist's Perspective is out and ready for downloading on my website www.johnbishopfineart.com.  We decided to give the book away for free, hoping for an email and a subscription to our monthly newsletter.  We have ordered some physical copies as well, and those will be available for sale in the Houston studio.  I hope you will take advantage of the gift and give me some feedback on the manuscript.  The whole purpose of the book was to create a dialog with our collectors, and build community around our art business.  Give it a read._______________________________Season 4, Episode 3_______________________________“Art Life with John & Bogdan” is a weekly blog/vlog/podcast that creates a community, a conversation, between creatives in all sorts of fields at all sorts of levels.  We want to discuss what we’re learning, what we’ve experienced, and whom we’ve met in our journey of running a freelance creative business. John Bishop is a visual artist living in Houston, Texas. His work is largely abstract, and explores how to turn mythic, archetypal symbols into individual experiences allowing us to see them in a new way, with fresh eyes. Bogdan is a videographer and fine art photographer who constantly seeks to stretch the boundaries of traditional photographic work, with the added flare of his artistic eye.  Both artists’ work can be seen online, or at their studios at Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards Street, in Houston.John Bishop: http://www.johnbishopfineart.comBogdan Mihai: http://www.bogdanfotoart.comBogdan’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bogdanoninstagram/John’s Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/johnbishopfineart/Twitter: https://twitter.com/JohnBishopartPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/johnbishopfineartBuburuza Productions: http://www.Buburuzaproductions.comAripa Arte Nonprofit: httos://www.aripaarte.org
