#1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Words of wisdom on making a good life and good art from the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author—the graduation speech he delivered to The University of the Arts in May 2012
For more than three decades Neil Gaiman has “made good art” in nearly every available medium, from comics to novels to Tweets. In May 2012, he was asked to share his insights to the graduating class of the University of Arts in Philadelphia. Make Good Art is the text of Gaiman’s commencement speech, now available for every reader in this elegantly designed volume. 

In this remarkable volume, Gaiman shares the motivating, joyful, sometimes frustrating, and always inspiring lessons he has learned throughout his groundbreaking career. He offers encouragement for anyone, no matter what age or stage of life, to go forth, be creative, and make good art.

Whether graduating from school, embarking on a new adventure, or simply looking for a little inspiration, Make Good Art is an antidote for complacency. Clever, funny, and profound, it encourages us to embrace uncertainty, break the rules, and nurture our unique individual vision, and reminds us of the limitless possibilities inherent in the creative process, and the delights that come from conjuring magic—making good art.
