Solid and invaluable advice for artists or any kind, and at any stage in their life and career — but particularly when starting out, given by writer Neil Gaiman at this year’s commencement address to the graduating class of the University of the Arts here in Philadelphia.
Excellent.

What a map for those long and lonesome roads. Thanks for sharing, once again! I’m a young and ambitious draughtman from France and you’ve been a great influence on me, raising those incredible artists and advices in front of me for the past few years.
Once one have succeedeed, everything he did may seem like the perfect plan, and what makes this speech so valuable is that he admits that he does not know for sure the reasons of his success. Thanks again 🙂
Wow! What a wonderful address. Thank you for sharing it.
Lie about your work experience lol…! Thats how I got my first job in the business.
Neil Gaiman is an inspiration to us all. Thanks for posting this.
