"Make Good Art," penned by the illustrious Neil Gaiman, is a beacon of inspiration, derived from a commencement speech that has since reverberated beyond the walls of Philadelphia’s University of the Arts. In this compact yet profoundly stirring volume, Gaiman embarks on a journey with his readers, guiding fledgling artists and seasoned creators alike through the labyrinth of creativity and perseverance. With the finesse of a master storyteller, he advocates for the courage to forge unique paths, the audacity to break conventions, and above all, the relentless pursuit of making good art. The book, brought to life by the distinctive design of Chip Kidd, goes beyond a mere transcript of Gaiman's speech. It stands as a visual and textual manifesto that challenges the reader to confront the unknown with a pen, a brush, or a dream. Through Gaiman's wisdom, wit, and warmth, "Make Good Art" emerges not just as a call to action but as a soothing balm for the inevitable wounds encountered in the pursuit of artistry. It is a treasure trove of encouragement, a reminder that creativity’s true essence lies in the resilience to continue, to always make good art, despite the odds.
