The new year has come, and the parties are over. As we turn our gaze to those end-of-the-year duties: catching up with paperwork; closing out annual processes; and looking forward to taxes, reporting, and the goals and objectives that should guide us through the months to come. Every year we make some sort of trip, away from home and the studio, to give ourselves uninterrupted time

John discusses the new year, and plans he and Bogdan have for the art business this year.
