If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review.Kardashian images: "Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered" by Austin KleonSomeone might say: “We need inspiring visual content that can enrich us.”Wow. Deep statement. On Instagram there is tons of crap and dross yet tons of visually inspiring images. She neatly sidesteps the utility of Instagram - there is no gatekeeper, no barrier for joe/jane ordinary to post his or her images. She wants to promote her...
4 StarsI liked the first book Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative by the same author. So I thought lets try this one. It's a Quick Read. And it will be more appropriate for the people who have their own gigs or who are interested in having a business of their own or who are a creative lot like writers, artists etc.Below are the chapters or topics in the book which pretty much speak for themselves. But a detailed view would help those who might feel a bit directio...
"Whatever we say, we're always talking about ourselves." -- Alison Bechdel.And I could add, whenever we talk, we're always telling stories. Why do we write or make art or pursue creativity of any sort? The answer? To be more ourselves, to show who we are, to make a connection, to find our tribe.Austin Kleon, the author of this book is a "writer who draws" and in sharing himself here, he takes his readers deep into the element of connecting. In particular, he offers up suggestions of how to get y...
Show Your Work is a personal declaration on how to complete any type of creative work. If you do anything that involves personal expression – which is pretty much everything – Kleon's perspective on performing the career you love will motivate you. Anyone involved in the creative process should read this book. It's a tiny, lovely book with flowcharts within. It's short enough to read in one sitting. It lays out methods to think about your work as a never-ending process, how to grow an audience
Kleon seems like a nice guy, so I hate saying this, but I have no idea why this is a book. "Put your work on the internet, and try not to be too annoying about it. Then people will see your work, know you exist, and not be too annoyed by you." The end.
“90 percent of everything is crap” the author writes. And so is 90 percent of this book.I like deep work. This book is all about what leads to a shallow work. Maybe I’m against a lot of stuff in this book. Maybe I matured. Maybe I’ve grown up and don’t like these kind of books anymore. Maybe I should just draw a point and go to actual, real, deep work.Oh but wait. Maybe I should share this review on twitter?
Anytime I need some inspiration or encouragement in my creative endeavors, I turn to Austin Kleon. His words get me so pumped up and inspired, and his books never let me down.
Having just finished Austin Kleon's previous book Steal Like an Artist, which I liked but didn't LOVE... I didn't expect anything different here. I mean, the book's exactly the same size and shape, the same layout, similar in approach. But this one hit me right between the eyes half a dozen times over.I immediately started rereading this one, a library copy, and bought this one and Steal Like an Artist. I suspect that I didn't click with the first one because I read it too quickly and didn't rea...
