Steal Like an Artist

STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative

by Austin Kleon

Do you sometimes wish you could be more creative? The truth is, creativity doesn’t require you to be a genius, nor do you need to conjure things from thin air.  In this book, artist and author Austin Kleon shares the art of “inspired borrowing”, with 10 big ideas on how to borrow ideas, reimage and improve them to create something truly unique and meaningful.

In this summary, you’ll learn:

• How to curate ideas then blend them to create something unique and authentic, using initial explorations and practice to get good before sharing your work with others.

• How to get started (even if you don’t feel ready), use your senses, nurture creative outlets,  connect and create anywhere, make friends (not enemies), establish helpful routines, simplify and amplify.

Who should read this:
• Aspiring and established artists, writers, designers, musicians, and content creators looking to overcome creative blocks, find new inspiration, develop a unique voice, produce meaningful work, and unlock creative potential.
• Entrepreneurs, marketers, and innovators looking to harness creativity, remix ideas, and think outside the box.
