This is definitely the book I'll gift a young aspiring artist. It was very short sweet and powerful in it's message. Warmed my heart in a way.

It wasn't what I was expecting, but oh my, how much I loved this little ditty of a book.
"We need to teach our children to read and to enjoy reading. We need libraries. We need books. We need literate citizens."
A quick and inspirational book. It'll leave you with a smile!

I just finished it and I want to re-read it for all the wise things that were shared here. It gave me a lot of encouragement and tips. I love Neil Gaiman when he talks and gives good advice and this a book full of his best . This was a great read and I enjoyed it very much today.
I loved this book and listening to Neil Gaiman's voice was great. Amazing and encouraging words to inspire you in order to make art in which ever version you like and to feel good about it.

Beautiful short read. I enjoyed Neil Gaiman's passionate yet soothing narration in the audiobook. My favorite parts were from Make Good Art:
This account of receiving advice from Stephen King during the height of his success for Sandman: "'This is really great. You should enjoy it.' And I didn't. Best advice I got that I ignored. Instead I worried about it. I worried about the next deadline, the next idea, the next story... I didn't stop and look around, and go 'this is really fun!' It's been an amazing ride, but there were parts of the ride I missed because I was too worried about things going wrong, about what came next, to enjoy the bit I was on. That was the hardest lesson for me, to let go and enjoy the ride."
On the best advice he gave: "So be wise, because the world needs more wisdom. And if you cannot be wise, pretend to be someone who is wise and then just behave like they would. And now go and make interesting mistakes, [amazing, glorious, and] fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Make the world more interesting for your being here. Make good art."
