Art & Courage, A guide to sustaining a creative path

Since its release in 1993, Art & Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland has become an underground classic helping artists across various disciplines persevere through uncertainty and self-doubt and has become a staple in the libraries of many artists and creatives. 

With David and Ted’s blessing, the Applied Cartooning Lab created a comic book based on their cult classic. Art & Courage also offers comforting practical advice and philosophical perspectives from two working artists and  teachers (Emil WIlson and James Sturm). As David and Ted write, “the difficulties artmakers face are not remote or heroic, but universal and familiar.” 

Art & Courage will help readers feel a little less alone and a little more prepared for whatever creative journey they embark upon.
