If you were among those who enjoyed last year’s entertaining program with Austin Kleon and his book Steal Like an Artist, you’ll love our guest Jessica Hagy’s new book in the same vein, How to Be Interesting. It’s a book by the author of a hugely popular blog that attracts nearly a million and a half readers, sort of a ”how-to” that combines a quirky, amusing text with illustrator Hagy’s delightful diagrams. It’s a unique treat that we know our audiences will enjoy, and of course we’ll have copies of the book for sale and signing. Hagy’s blog and cartoons regularly appear in the New York Times, and she also writes for Smithsonian magazine and an online column for Forbes. (jasbro)… (mere)

Austin Kleon diskuterer Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You about Being Creative.

Join us for an exciting night of creativity with bestselling artist and writer Austin Kleon as he presents his creativity manifesto Steal Like an Artist! We’re pairing Austin with two accomplished local artists – Craig Horky and Lori Weismantel – for a unique presentation. While Austin speaks, Craig and Lori will create live art projects based on inspiration given by the audience. After seeing Austin Kleon’s found poetry collection, Newspaper Blackout, Broome Community College invited him to speak to students. For his talk, Austin shared the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was in college, most notably “Steal like an artist.” When Austin posted the slides from that presentation on his website, it went viral instantly. To date, the original post has been read by over 1.85 million people. He has shared his ideas with audiences at TEDx, SXSW, and The Economist’s Human Potential Summit. Austin’s insightful guidance and distinctive presentation have struck a chord with those trying to do something truly original—in all fields— at a time when no idea seems truly new. Indeed, we learn from Austin that nothing is really original. All creative concepts must build on what came before them. (tapestry100)… (mere)

When Kleon was invited to address college students in upstate New York, he shaped his speech around the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was starting out.

His work has been featured on 20×20, NPR's Morning Edition, PBS Newshour, and in The Wall Street Journal.
