DESCRIPTION:
(Yes, you.) Its pleasures are enhanced by playful typography and droll, sketchy illustrations by Eric Hanson, including several delightful ones of Waters, a pencil-thin man with a pencil-thin mustache. … a great read. “Make Trouble, adapted from his speech to the Rhode Island School of Design class of 2015, is a commencement address I consumed with joy, will likely read again and would be happy to give to young people — especially brooding, complicated young people. The speech is timeless and could be taken from any point in his career, but it’s a re
Now we can all enjoy his sly wisdom in a manifesto that reminds us, no matter what field we choose, to embrace chaos, be nosy, and outrage our critics. Waters advises young people to eavesdrop, listen to their enemies, and horrify us with new ideas. So what if you have talent? Then what? When John Waters delivered his gleefully subversive advice to the graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design, the speech went viral, in part because it was so brilliantly on point about making a living as a creative person. In other words, MAKE TROUBLE! Illustrated with slightly demented line drawings by Eric Hanson, Make Trouble is a one-of-a-kind gift, the perfect playbook for gaming the system by making the system work for you..

From an icon of popular culture, here is inspiring advice for artists, graduates, and all who seek happiness and success on their own terms
Its only fault is leaving me wanting more A perfect graduation gift for the creatively disruptive young person afraid that entering the conventional world of work means selling out and betraying one's feistiness. Waters' advice is as applicable to the cubicle drone as it is to the artist. I only wish it were twice as long.. Get hard copy, skip on Kindle Five star content, minus a star for Kindle format. I haven't seen a hard copy yet but I bet it's fantastic in that format (great graduation gift). In Kindle format, it's maybe a 5-minute read and neither black nor white backgrounds help visual content translate. I had prepurchased this so if I'd seen how it was, I. jan tetzlaff said Waters is my hero!. I love anything by Waters and this is no exception. This is a speech he gave at a college graduation. Very short, easy read, but a must for every Water's fan.
