The Art Biz Blog is 4 years old today!
As I tell all of my clients, start your blog NOW and figure it out later. This blog (originally called Art Thoughts) was pretty lame for the first 6 months. And then I had an Aha moment.
Check out my first post.
And thanks for hanging out with me on the Art Biz Blog.

Thank Goodness for Aha moments, because I just found this blog four years later and love it! Congratulations!
That first post may be very different from what you do now, but it was still a great first post.
Congrats! Happy Birthday.
Well Done! Happy Birthday ArtBizBlog!!! And here’s to many more years of it… 😉
Happy Birthday! That old post brings back fond memories when I would get an email from you each week with a Do This title.
Congratulations Alyson! I certainly appreciate your time and effort. I have also been carrying your book around and it is being absorbed daily. Thanks for your support
Happy Birthday, and many more! I’m very grateful for your blog and your wisdom. Thanks!
¡¡Congratulations Alyson!! I keep you from Spain? A lot but I do not understand your language, if I understand the basics of your tips. Thanks I wish you that your blog to continue fulfilling years of age. Is when your books or videos in Spanish?
Like fine wine and women, your blog gets better with age. Congratulations!

Congratulations and thanks for the past 4 years!
Congratulations! My day always begins with a visit to your site to read and think. And, although I’m not a regular commenter, I really do appreciate the information you present and the general generosity of spirit of this blog. Happy 4th! Cheers, Nicole
Way to go, Alyson! Not only do you talk the talk, but you walk the walk. Here’s to many many more years!!!
Congratulations, Alyson. I don’t recall how I came across this blog but I’ve been reading it for two or three months and loving it. Thank you.
Great job Alyson, looking forward to many more years of inspiration, practical advice, and wonderful ideas, all of which have certainly worked for me. Thanks!
Congratulations Alyson! I did just join, however the info so far is really great!
Congratulations Alyson. Just joined, however the info is really great!
I’ve seen much lamer posts than your first one! 😉 What was your aha moment? Thank you so much for your blog. It’s now as much a part of my morning as that first cup of coffee.
Alyson, congratulations on four years of ArtBizBlog. I loved the first post, a precursor to what has become Deep Thought Thursday, perhaps. You show the way, every day. I was your first commenter! what fun! Wishing you many more years of blogging, podcasting, and paving the way with new was to connect.
Congratulations Alyson! Also, thank you for all the work you do to help artists with your sage advice. 🙂 Sheree Rensel
I just received my copy of I’d Rather Be In the Studio today – I know, I’m slow. I never go to movies when they first come out, either. But what a lot you’ve accomplished in these past 4 years, and what generosity you model. Congratulations, Thank you!
Congratulations, Alyson! May there be many more years!
Cheers, Alyson! I’m coming up on my two year blogging anniversary and, like so many, am happy to credit you with encouraging me to get started.
Alyson, Congrads!Wishing you continued successes. Someone else in this thread mentioned your genorosity. I, too, notice that. Your openness to help, vast store of tips, and friendliness shine through on your blog.(I wasn’t surprised in the least that you take in “strays” on Thanksgiving.) Thank you again for imparting pertinent,practical, and profound artsy knowledge. I appreciate your free newsletter more than I can convey. Your book was already on my holiday wish list. Now I noticed, those extras! Marketing is definitely your baby!
Has it been four years already? Where has the time gone? You’ve put it to excellent use. Thank you so much for your advice, so generously shared, all these years, and may the next four give you even more reason to celebrate!
Happy Fourth Anniversary, ArtBizBlog.com
Alyson Stanfield, the Art Biz Coach, started her blog four years ago November 30, 2004. I note this anniversary because Alyson’s information on building an art business is of supreme value to me. Her information and example on the value…
