The July 20th issue of Publisher’s Weekly featured a piece I wrote about book tour, bookselling, and my newfound love for indie bookstores. Read it here or below.

Show Your Work! Episode 1: Vampires
Can’t see the video? Watch it in HD here?
I’ve been messing around for the past couple of days learning how to do some really rudimentary animation in Keynote, the slideshow program for Mac. (I’ve also been watching a lot of Terry Gilliam, South Park, and Brad Neely.) The result? A little 2-minute video about Picasso, Brancusi, and how to tell if you have a vampire problem in your life.
Want to know when a new episode drops? follow me on Twitter or join my mailing list.
Keynote can be a beast to work with, but I’m really enjoying the constraint of trying to get something interesting out of it. (Thanks to my friend Bill Keaggy for the inspiration.)
Bonus material!
Here’s more on the Brancusi/Picasso story→
Here’s a photo of Brancusi (left) next to a photo of my great grandfather Kleon (who was from Lupsa, Romania.)
Signed copies of Steal Like An Artist
Folks ask me a lot for signed copies of Steal — the demand is just a little to high for me to handle myself, but the good folks at BookPeople, one of my favorite indie bookstores right here in Austin, TX, have offered to keep a bunch of signed copies in stock. (Yesterday I signed almost 100 copies!) Each one comes signed with the little arrowhead man doodle. You can order in store or online — they even ship overseas.
