Everyone needs to read this book. Again and again.
It was ok; some superficial chat about the power of creativity, some illustrations which were perhaps questionable (evil Muslim man, fat internet complainer). More expensive than it was worth in terms of content and quality.
For some reason, even though I agreed with Gaiman's ideas and enjoyed Riddell's drawings, this book just didn't connect with me in the way that I expected it to.
A short collection of essays and speeches from Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Chris Riddell about how important it is to read, support libraries, and most importantly make art. Find the time - and there is always time to make art, be creative and explore, learn, grow.
This was a quick read (clocking in at 112 pages) and will be a book that I will recommend to anyone and everyone who needs a bit of inspiration.

“It is easy to pretend that nobody can change anything, that society is huge and the individual is less than nothing. But the truth is individuals make the future, and they do it by imagining that things can be different.” And that is why Art Matters.
A small book that should be read by everyone. It made me feel so good and smiling. And hopeful. We all need hope right now.
Why Art Matters is a cute little collection of essays by Neil Gaiman (two of them originally being speeches) that are presented along side wonderful illustrations by brilliantly talented Chris Riddell.
A collection of four short essay, this book is a perfect ''pick me up'' and ''motivate me to create" nudge that one needs.
My favourite of them all is "Make Good Art". While the essay is great, I'd recommend hearing Neil deliver the speech (which is where the essay is derived from), with his dramatic oratory, it's a delight for mind and soul!
