Art Matters: Because Your Imagination Can Change the World by Neil Gaiman

1.0

fast-paced

I wanted a book that would inspire me to make art. What I got is a superficial, "happy-go-lucky" collection of essays by a privileged white man who can lie his way through society. I'm honestly so shocked that a lot of people like this stuff because that's not how the world works and "making good art" is so easy to say, while most artists struggle with even making art. And what art is good art anyway? It's like when you tell people you're sad and they say, "don’t be sad". Wow thank you. I’m making good art now 🙂
