Stealing Like an Artist?


I'm not promoting stealing but this is a clever presentation from Austin Kleon which I'm stealing for this post......

His point: "'Where did you get your ideas?' The obvious answer is 'I steal them.'"  And if it is not worth stealing, move on to the next thing.  Brillant!

Here are the other 9 things Austin has learned:
2. Don’t wait until you know who you are to start making things.
3. Write the book you want to read.
4. Use your hands
5. Side projects and hobbies are important.
6. The secret: do good work and put it where people can see it.
7. Geography is no longer our master.
8. Be nice. The world is a small town.
9. Be boring. It’s the only way to get work done.
10. Creativity is subtraction.

Go to the presentation here.....
