You simply need to be consistently working hard and smart.Īnd hear me out, this was actually a great affirmation because it meant, You don’t need to be special to be an artist or a creative. So if the book told me something that I already knew, then why did I like it so much? Well, because reading it reminded me that I believe, this book reiterated the things which I probably already knew, but it didn’t stop there, it asked, nay, compelled me to put those into practice. This one was totally my kind of book - relatively small, using easy and colloquial language, had actionable advice and fun comics. I don’t remember how I came across this author or even the book, but I’m so glad I finally got around to reading it. Stay smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring - the creative you will need to make room to be wild and daring in your imagination.Last week, I finished reading this strangely remarkable book called ‘ Steal Like An Artist ’ written by, or perhaps I should say, illustrated by Austin Kleon.
Follow your interests wherever they take you. And filled with new truths about creativity: Nothing is original, so embrace influence, col- lect ideas, and remix and re-imagine to discover your own path. The result is inspiring, hip, original, practical, and entertaining.
The talk went viral, and its author dug deeper into his own ideas to create Steal Like an Artist, the book. Kleon was asked to address college students in upstate New York, he shaped his speech around the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was starting out. A manifesto for the digital age, Steal Like an Artist is a guide whose positive message, graphic look and illustrations, exercises, and examples will put readers directly in touch with their artistic side. That’s the message from Austin Kleon, a young writer and artist who knows that creativity is everywhere, creativity is for everyone. You don’t need to be a genius, you just need to be yourself.
