“Do good work and put it where people can see it.
Austin Kleon's takes to the TEDx stage to talk about things he wished he had heard when he was just starting out in the Art World as well as creativity and visual thinking.
Austin is a writer and an artist. he is the creator of Newspaper Blackout which is also a published book which is a collection of poetry made by redacting newspaper articles with a permanent market thus leaving you with a piece of poetry or a haiku.
.
The word steal seems awfully harsh, but what Austin is trying to say is that on a daily basis, we are inspired. Artist are collectors, they collect ideas. Whether your idea is inspired by a sheet of music, or by something that happened a hundred years ago. it will never be original. - Harsh reality. Don't get discouraged, all creative work builds on what became before. Every new idea is a remix of one or two things previous ideas.
Instead of getting discouraged and thinking that nothing you do is original, rather embrace the things you can use for inspiration. expose yourself to the best possible things and artist and use it to drive your work forward.
Picasso once said, "Good artist copy, Great artist steal."
