Neil Gaiman Offers Advice on How to be More Creative

What do you wish you knew when you were 19? Neil Gaiman, author of Sandman, Coraline and American Gods, answers that question in this commencement address last weekend at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. It’s a must-see for every creative person. Gaiman has produced a body of creative work – via comic books and long-form fiction – that make him a voice worth listening to. His most recent work is the novel The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which has garnered rave reviews and quickly earned bestseller status.  Gaiman is married to rock and roll indie superstar Amanda Palmer.
