Spring has sprung, and as John and Bogdan deal with everything from running a new nonprofit to planning for Comicpalooza, the season has meant a flurry of activity and challenges for the art couple. John talks about all of the exciting things going on in their art business, and the opportunity to write a whole new curriculum for teaching other artists about what running an art business can mean.
