This isn't to encourage haphazardly going through life however, but instead it highlights the distinct ways not playing by the established rules can play to your favor. Gaiman simply made it up as he went along.
It's called "Make Good Art," and in it he talks about his career, how he didn't go to college and has never had a career plan. In May of 2012, author Neil Gaiman gave one of the greatest college commencement speeches of all time at Philadelphia's University of the Arts. Read 11 of 2023."A freelance life is sometimes like putting messages in bottles, on a desert island, and hoping that someone will find one of your bottles and open it and read it.".Translated from the Spanish by Sean Manning Translated from the Korean by Deborah Smith and Emily Yae Won. Translated from the Bengali by Arunava Sinha “Make Good Art” is perfect to be gifted to one who is confused about what he or she should do in life. It is about successes and failures and how it will not be an easy road every time you decide to create art. “Make Good Art” is for everyone out there who have wanted to create something. I love Chip Kidd’s illustrations and the ones that he does in this book, just blend effortlessly with Gaiman’s words.
You have to be one with what Gaiman says and the advice he dispenses. The book is a small one and doesn’t take time to finish, however, for the words to seep in, especially if you are an artist, means that you have read and reread it. He encourages all artists – from painters to writers to musicians, to do just one thing – break all barriers and think out of the box (I know it is clichéd but it works) and make good art.
“Make Good Art” speech is all about making good art and the purpose of art in our lives and generations to come. I remember feeling the same when I read George Saunder’s speech on kindness in the form of a small book, “Congratulations, By the Way”, and this time it was a speech on making good art, aptly titled, “Making Good Art”. There is something about such speeches that are so positive, that it makes you want to believe in a better world for one and all. Even though this was just a commencement address made by him in the year 2012 at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts, I knew I would enjoy it immensely and I did. I picked this book only because of Neil Gaiman.
