Our art business has reached a crossroad, but that's not a bad thing.  Over the past 7 years, Bogdan and I have been able to create a small freelance creative company that somehow survived almost three years of pandemic.  Against all odds, and despite our total lack of preparation, we have built a collector base, and an inventory of art that sells consistently.  Of course, we don't yet sell enough to live off our art, but we manage to stay afloat due to savings that we accrued over the years.  Those savings are finite, and we know that we must take some big steps to create the environment necessary for our business to grow, and expand.  In order to do that, we need to make some significant changes in our lives.

We're looking to purchase some real estate that would allow us to live and work from one place, be located near some art center, and give us the space we need to create our art, as well as grow the business over the next several years.  So we're looking to move.

While this episode in our lives is exciting, it's also terrifying.  Tune in and get more of the story, or at least as much of the story as we know right now.

“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.
