Last link is something for all you artists in your souls out there.

Neil Gaiman gives an amazing, inspiring speech to art graduates.
He is talking in such sincerity about the ups and downs of being an artist, how to deal with our successes, our failures and even gives his no. 1 tip for freelancers (which was great if we were pre-internet era...).

Amazingly powerful.
I was personally touched. I plan to keep this video as a reminder to the fact that we are…human and thankfully we have our art which keeps us happy.  Thank you Melanie Muir for posting this J
