I love the first section of this newsletter, which feels on point for every creative endeavor. The greatest in any field see and seek truth rather than try to emulate others (in writing, music...science, etc). It is absolutely “hard work to see what’s really in front of us.”

I’m trying to track down the air date for Tissa David short “Truth Ruth” shown on the Electric Company.

Episode guides are practically nonexistent online. Any ideas??

This issue resonated with me *so* much. I loved how drew a clear distinction between "real" and e.g., "photorealistic" in discussing David's work. For me, learning what is true, and learning how to express that honestly and clearly, is a constantly moving goalpost. But when an artist can, or even when they can come close, it's so magical—for everyone involved. It's what's I think is so devastating and wonderful about making something.
