When a Russian marketer moves to New York City and meets Indonesian-born artist from Los Angeles, they create a new media business, painting human body for money, and move from a tiny apartment studio into well-known business studio with international and franchise plans.

What are the business and entrepreneurial skills that an artist or creative person needs to succeed? What kind of partnership is essential for an artist? What are the lessons learned in establishing a non-traditional art-related business model? Are there any free marketing tools that can help jumpstart a business and are relevant for this generation?
