Description:
In Steal Like an Artist, Austin Kleon presents a refreshing manifesto on creativity, aimed at breaking the myth of the "lone genius" and empowering readers to embrace influence. The book argues that all creative work builds upon what came before it, and instead of worrying about originality, aspiring creators should focus on remixing, reimagining, and reinventing existing ideas. Kleon distills ten simple yet profound principles for unlocking creativity in everyday life like “Don’t wait until you know who you are to get started” and “Side projects and hobbies are important.” With a minimalist design, hand-drawn illustrations, and conversational tone, this book is both accessible and deeply inspiring. Perfect for artists, writers, designers, and anyone feeling creatively blocked, Steal Like an Artist encourages you to take action, be curious, and stop waiting for permission to create. It’s a guide to living a more open, artistic life fueled by influence, not limited by it.
