Steal Like An Artist: The Book

Steal Across America Tour Diary #8: Austin, Colorado, Ohio, and Chicago

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

I just finished up my book tour promoting Steal Like An Artist. This is the last entry in the tour diary…

How I felt by the end of the tour...

Bookpeople Me and my young fan, Tori!

Started out with a kind of homecoming talk at Bookpeople in Austin, Texas, with a packed house. It was crazy thinking about how much has changed since the last time I talked at Bookpeople…

Denver

Denver Denver Denver Art Museum Boulder Book Store

Hopped a plane to Denver, spent a lot of time at the Denver Art Museum and the Clyfford Still Museum, then I drove over to Boulder to talk at the Boulder Book Store. Didn’t get to spend much time in Boulder, but the few hours I did spend there were really nice.

The Newport Corey Gillen and me

Stayed a night in Columbus so I could get to see Corey Gillen, my best friend of 15 or so years, drum with Josh Krajcik at a sold-out show at the Newport. Awesome night.

Weapons of Mass Creation

Weapons of Mass Creation John Drain, me, and Chris Glass

Next morning my Mom drove me to Cleveland to give a talk at the Weapons of Mass Creation Festival in Cleveland, Ohio. Unfortunately, I had to hop on a plane to Chicago, but I got to see my good buddies John and Chris.

The Bean

The stoop! Art Institute Printer's Row Printer's Row

In Chicago, I drank beer on my friend James’ stoop, then the next morning I went to the Art Institute and then participated in a panel at the Printer’s Row festival.

And then it was home to Texas. It’s been a wild couple of months and I’m still processing it all. Glad to not be in motion for a bit. Thanks to everybody who made this tour so great!
