Description
By Kleon Austin
Paperback – English
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. …Unlock 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
…Unlock your creativity.
