If you think back to the times you struggled, can you say that you still made good art during those times, whatever your art is? In this episode we hear a fantastic commencement speech by Neil Gaiman at the University of the Arts in 2002 about doing just that: making good art. We also hear an excerpt of a recent Juxtapose article on the artist Revok, titled “The Second Childhood”; about an artist potentially reborn in the face of new challenges.
