From an icon of pop culture, here is inspiring advice for artists, graduates, and all who are trying to find happiness and success on their own terms.

So what when 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 once so brilliantly on point about making a living as a creative person. Now we will all enjoy his sly wisdom in a manifesto that reminds us, it doesn’t matter what field we make a choice, to embrace chaos, be nosy, and outrage our critics.

Anyone embarking on a creative path, he tells us, would do well to realize that pragmatism and discipline are as important as talent and that rejection is nothing to fear. Waters advises young people to eavesdrop, listen to their enemies, and horrify us with new ideas. In other words, MAKE TROUBLE!

Illustrated with somewhat demented line drawings by Eric Hanson, Make Trouble is a one-of-a-kind gift, the easiest playbook for gaming the system by making the system be just right for you.
