Steal Like An Artist : Book Review

 I spent an hour a few nights back and read the book, "Steal Like An Artist".  It was a really short book, but it is well written and easy to read.  There is a lot of graphics and pictures throughout the book that explains the points he is trying to get across.  Below is a link to a blog post written about this book by the author, Austin Kleon.

Some information about the author, Austin Kleon. He is a graphic designer / Illustrator that currently lives in Austin Texas.  He has a lot of comedy and humor in his work, making his book fun to read.  In the book he talks mostly about how no idea you have is original.  That every idea you have is taken from somewhere else.  A truly original idea is impossible because of everything you experience is part of the art you create.   He wants everyone to realize this and take that to their advantage and purposely steal inspiration from your surroundings.
