Table Of ContentSteal Like an Artist. Don't Wait Until You Know Who You Are to Get Started. Write the Book You Want to Read. Use Your Hands. Side Projects and Hobbies Are Important. The Secret: Do Good Work and Share It with People. Geography Is No Longer Our Master. Be Nice. (The World Is a Small Town.) Be Boring. (It's the Only Way to Get Work Done.) Creativity Is Subtraction.
SynopsisUnlock your creativity. An inspiring guide to creativity in the digital age, Steal Like an Artist presents ten transformative principles that will help readers discover their artistic side and build a more creative life . Nothing is original, so embrace influence, school yourself through the work of others, remix and reimagine to discover your own path. Follow interests wherever they take you--what feels like a hobby may turn into you life's work. Forget the old cliché about writing what you know: Instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch . And finally, stay Smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring in the everyday world so that you have the space to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work . "Brilliant and real and true."--Rosanne Cash, "In the ten years since publishing the groundbreaking New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon has become one of the most important names in creativity. His books have over a million copies in print and have been translated into dozens of languages; he's been featured on NPR's Morning Edition and the PBSNewsHour and in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal; and he's been praised as "brilliant" (New York) and "positively one of the most interesting people on the planet" (The Atlantic). We're now thrilled to celebrate this milestone and its significance with Steal Like an Artist: 10th Anniversary Edition. This hardcover gift edition has a larger trim, revised cover, ribbon marker, endpapers from the author's sketchbook, and a new Afterword. An inspiring guide to creativity in the digital age, Steal Like an Artist presents ten transformative principles to help readers discover their artistic side and build a more creative life. Its positive message, graphic look, and illustrations, exercises, and examples put readers directly in touch with their artistic side. We learn how to embrace influence, follow interests wherever they take us, forget old clichés like writing about what you know-instead, write the book that you want to read, make the movie you want to watch. And above all, how to find the space you need to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work. In his Afterword, Kleon discusses the book's influence and how "stealing" has been misunderstood-providing a unique, personal perspective on a book that's touched so many over the past decade."-- Publisher

  • Profound and intriguing!

    The writing is clear, humorous, entertaining, and enlightening all at the same time. This book puts in words what so many of us who desire, and in fact do, create feel but are not always able to put into words ourselves. It gives permission to be creative and build on art and creativity that came before us. Wonderful book, a must have for the creative soul to have and be able to read and reread over and over. Inspiring!!!!

    If you want to create something but feel stuck, you don’t need to waste time. These books get straight to the point. They are small, quick reads that you can come back to again and again.

  • Good content, just not much of it.

    Not very pithy but a good reminder that to some extent we are all reinventing the wheel (which is a bit depressing) and that imitation is a form of flattery.

  • Thought provoking

    I saw this book for around $17 at an art museum. Came home and bought it on Ebay for around $7. Great value! It's a good book to have for ideas about how to overcome artists block and modify ideas from other artists to create your own style.
