“Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative” by Austin Kleon is a how-to guide on making creativity happen-by embracing influence and remixing ideas. According to Kleon, one should take inspiration from others but add one’s own peculiarities. He reminds readers that originality comes in the re-imagining and reinterpretation of one’s ideas. This book will inspire anyone wanting to level up in their creative process with his engaging illustrations and actionable tips
Influence is Crucial: Creativity is all about inspiration from other works and using them as the foundation for newer ideas.
Be Yourself: While learning from others, it is necessary to inject into your work your unique perspective and voice.
Steal Like an Artist: According to the book, great artists and creators are those who adapt and reinterpret ideas rather than starting from scratch.
Process Over Perfection: Believe in the process, not perfection in every single piece of work.
Side Projects and Hobbies: Side projects and hobbies develop creativity and give insights into new inspiration and knowledge.
Share Your Work: Sometimes, sharing your creative process and work with the outside world will help you achieve some valuable feedback and new opportunities.
This is a great book for artists and writers alike-or whoever needs to activate his or her creative skills and bring innovative thoughts into his or her life.
