Creative courage and letting your guts out

Painters Paul Waters and Jamie Nami Kim argue that making and releasing art takes courage, and that each release helps others do the same. They describe "comaglacia," a Wachapreague word Waters learned from his grandmother, as meaning "let your guts out." The newsletter also cites Kim Gordon's 1981 Art Forum observation that "People pay to see others believe in themselves," and highlights recent releases, including Hard Art's book Drawn Without Looking, limited to 100 editions and currently available to UK collectors.
