How to make a newspaper blackout poem
Next week I’m going to be an artist-in-residence at All Saints’ Episcopal School in Fort Worth, Texas. The teachers asked if I had a video explaining how to make a newspaper blackout poem. I didn’t, so I made one. Enjoy.

Ten years
Ten years ago I started posting to this blog.
One little blog post is nothing on its own, but publish a thousand blog posts over a decade, and it turns into your life’s work. This blog has been my sketchbook, my studio, my gallery, my storefront, and my salon. Absolutely everything good that has happened in my career can be traced back in some way to this blog. My books, my art shows, my speaking gigs, some of my best friendships—they all exist because I have my own little piece of turf on the Internet.
Thank you for reading. I hope I can go ten more.
A longtime fan of you (weekly newsletter)
Hey y’all,
Back to it! Here are 10 things I thought were worth sharing this week:
- I traded my marker for an x-acto blade.
- Blowing my mind: the work of the late Margaret Kilgallen.
- Some remixed Georgia O’Keeffe paintings.
- Toru Iwatani shows off his original designs for Pac-Man. (Falls in the venn diagram of two of my interests: famous notebooks and Show Your Work!)
- E.B. White’s 3 New Yorks.
- Why “do what you love” is often a fairy tale.
- The work of art.
- Lovely paintings of Iceland by Matt Forsythe.
- From the archives: why you’ve gotta be okay with being bad until you’re good.
- The amazing Last Bookstore in LA, one of the stops on my fall tour to promote The Steal Like An Artist Journal! (Here are all the dates we have booked so far.)
xoxo,
Austin
