Combining Neil Gaiman's extraordinary words with Chris Riddell's deft and striking
illustrations Art Matters will inspire its readers to seize the day in the name of art. Neil
Gaiman once said that 'the world always seems brighter when you've just made something that
wasn't there before'. This little book is the embodiment of that vision. Drawn together from
speeches poems and creative manifestos Art Matters will explore how reading imagining and
creating can change the world. A creative call to arms the book will champion freedom of ideas
making art in the face of adversity and choosing to be bold. It will be inspirational to young
and old and will encourage glorious creative rebellion.
