Celebrate the 10th anniversary of a groundbreaking book on creativity with this limited edition festive hardcover, which includes a new afterword, colorful interior pages from Austin Kleon's notebooks, and a ribbon bookmark. Ten years after its initial publication, the message of Steal Like an Artist remains powerful: embrace influence, follow your interests wherever they take you, forget old clichés like writing what you know — instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch. And above all, find the space you need to be bold and daring in your imagination and work.
This 10th-anniversary edition includes a new afterword by the author, discussing the book's influence and how "stealing" has been misunderstood, offering a unique, personal perspective on a book that has touched so many. Unleash your creativity:
- Steal like an artist.
- Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.
- Write the book you want to read.
- Use your hands.
- Side projects and hobbies are important.
- The secret: Do good work and share it with people.
- Geography is no longer our master.
- Be nice. (The world is a small town.)
- Be boring. (It's the only way to get work done.)
- Creativity is subtraction.
