Listened to the audio which was only an hour long. Great for inspiration.

Art Matters es un libro que me entusiasmó muchísimo, lo descubrí en @storytel.mx y comenzaba a escucharlo y decía cosas tan maravillosas que decidía repetirlo porque sus palabras me llenaban de dicha y emoción. Decidí comprarlo en físico y fue la mejor decisión que pude haber tomado porque las ilustraciones de Chris Riddell complementan perfecto la idea de Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself ). Definitivamente una obra de arte que puede cambiar el mundo, así como su mismo título lo dice.
Art matters es un libro súper cortito pero mágico porque contiene enormes ideas y reflexiones contadas de manera extraordinaria. Consta de 3 ensayos y un poema. Recomiendo muchísimo escuchar el audiolibro narrado por el mismo autor y también ver la entrevista del autor en Youtube donde habla del libro (LiveSigning).
Los ensayos son: Credo, Porqué nuestro futuro depende de las bibliotecas, de leer y soñar, construyendo una silla (poema), y hacer buen arte.
Háganse un favor y déjense embriagar por este libro.

Built from several essays by Neil Gaiman with unique illustrations...his words capture the ideas of why we make art and why it's important. It reads fast...highly recommended.
This book makes me want to start drawing again. The illustrations are amazing; the book seems alive. Lively. Animated, despite being unmoving sketches. And cohesive, despite accompanying a graduation speech instead any actual story--great use of character design.
It really is inspiring. I mean that literally. Will draw for sandwiches.

This was originally a graduation speech that Neil Gaiman gave in 2012. You can find a transcript here:

The illustrations accompanying this book are very good, though. If a friend or your library has it, I recommend you borrow it.

Mr. Neil Gaiman truly is a gem in this world. Sorely and dearly needed this one!
Even though I totally agree with the text by Neil Gaiman, I was a bit disappointed as I'd read or heard most of it before from his essays and speeches, e.g., The Reading Agency's lecture 2013 (which was a brilliant speech, by the way). However, I was not in the least bit disappointed with the illustrations by one of my favorite illustrators, Chris Riddell.
A perfect piece of inspiration, I laughed, I cried (this happens quite a lot with writing as good as this...) I think I needed to hear it.
Make Good Art? OK then, I will

This short little book is important.
It is both what I always need to hear and what I always want to say.
Ideas matter. Reading matters. Stories matter. Art matters. Your work matters. Your unique identity and contributions matter.
Make mistakes, and make good art.
Read, and help others read.
Believe in the importance of your ideas and your creations. And be open to others’ as well.
I listened to this on audio, as I have with other books from the author...and I can’t tell you how much I love listening to Neil Gaiman speak. I’m so glad he narrates his own books. ❤️ He brings his work to life in such a special way.
