"The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before."--Neil Gaiman
Drawn from Gaiman's trove of published speeches, poems, and creative manifestos, Art Matters brings together four of Gaiman's writings on creativity and artistry:
- "Credo," his concise and relevant manifesto on free expression, first delivered in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shootings
- "Make Good Art," his 2012 commencement address delivered at the Philadelphia University of the Arts
- "Making a Chair," a poem about the joys of creating something, even when words won't come
- "On Libraries," an argument for libraries that illuminates their importance to our future and celebrates how they foster readers and daydreamers
Featuring original illustrations by Gaiman's longtime illustrator, Chris Riddell, Art Matters is a testament to the freedom of ideas that inspires us to make art in the face of adversity, and dares us to choose to be bold.
