i’ve been a fan of austin kleon’s work for a few years now, and i was eager to get my hands on his latest book, “steal like an artist”. billed as a “manifesto for creativity in the digital age”, it’s chock full of great quotes, illustrations, and advice on how to follow your interests and embrace your influences. and though the title says “artist”, the material inside is applicable to any medium. it’s perfect for creatively-frustrated creative types (which i know many of you are), and i loved it so much that i want to give you a copy!

French artist Julien Berthier scaled this billboard only to rip part of its sign down in an attempt at making thievery art by then displaying it in a gallery.
DD: Native Americans and Australian aborigines don’t like to have their picture taken because they believe it can steal one’s soul. Do you think a photo can do that?
Brett Walker: They had their land, culture, traditions and lives stolen long before photography, it seems a bit late in the day now to be bitching about cameras, if photography could steal souls I would be a very rich man now. I’m not.
