Steal Like An Artist

What Austin Kleon said worth listening to

Day 25/30

• A wonderful flaw about human beings is that we’re incapable of making perfect copies. Our failure to copy our heroes is where we discover where our own thing lives. That is how we evolveo
• What a good artist understands is that nothing comes from nowhere. All creative work builds on what came before. Nothing is completely original
• Collect good ideas. The more good ideas you collect, the more you can choose from to be influenced by
• Don’t worry about doing research. Just search
• Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of one or more previous ideas
• “What is originality? Undetected plagiarism” — William Ralph Inge
• “What people call something ‘original’, nine out of ten times they just don’t know the references or the original sources involved ”— Jonathan Lethem
• “I have stolen all of these moves from all these great players. I just try to do them proud, the guys who came before, because I learned so much from them. It’s all in the name of the game. It’s a lot bigger than me” —Kobe Bryant

Based on the book Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon

In summary, Steal Like An Artist is a book/guide that talks about how nothing is original & how to create ideas from the works of other creatives.

So basically; stealing with sense.
