Artist Austin Kleon's book, a beautifully illustrated bestseller, teaches readers how to use their environment and their own creativity to discover their artistic paths.

Discover 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, learn from others' work, remix, and rebel to discover your own path. Follow your interests wherever they take you - what seems like a hobby may develop into a lifelong project. Forget the old cliché of writing what you know: Instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to see. And finally, stay smart, avoid debt, and risk being boring in the everyday world so you have room to be bold and disruptive in your imagination and work.
