Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative [B2287]

2012 french-flap PB (6x6-inches, 174-pages) in Gift-Worthy condition. Unlock your creativity with this inspiring guide to creating in the digital age. "Brilliant and real and true." -Rosanne Cash, singer and songwriter. 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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "One of my beloved books! So fun to read and re-read."; "Good to read when you need a little push to get creative. It offers advice that you might not have thought of as a creative, and it's nice to be reminded of these things. Nothing too groundbreaking, but definitely a good read when you need a little inspiration!"; "The book is so concise and fun - and it actually made me annotate almost every page, lol."; "To sum up, this book is about a bunch of things you kind of already know but actually need to hear from time to time to keep going. Kleon did a great work finding the right words, illustrations and examples to support each idea. What a great piece of design."
