First look at Steal Like An Artist
Yesterday I finally got my hands on a real live copy of Steal Like An Artist. I know I’m biased and all, but man, this thing is cool. Workman did an incredible job—French flaps, heavy paper…I’m really proud. I can’t wait for February 28th to roll around so y’all can hold it, too. Available for pre-order now!
Interview with The Cocktail Napkin
5by5 | The Cocktail Napkin #53: Copying Garfield on the Kitchen Floor
To close out 2011, writer and artist Austin Kleon discusses the myriad of ways he works to end the messy divorce between words and pictures.
Here’s a 30-minute interview I did with Jeremy Fuksa of The Cocktail Napkin, talking about Newspaper Blackout, Steal Like An Artist, and doing stuff online. (You can get it as an audio podcast—thank God—so you don’t have to look at my ugly face the whole time…)
STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST TO BE PUBLISHED BY WORKMAN IN MARCH 2012
I am very happy to (finally!) announce that Workman Publishing will be publishing my new book Steal Like An Artist in March 2012!
(This will be just in time for my recently-accepted SXSW panel with Kirby Ferguson, “Everything Is A Remix, So Steal Like An Artist.”)
Big thanks to my shark of an agent, Ted Weinstein; my rad editor, Bruce Tracy; and all the folks at Workman, who have been impressing the hell out of me—it’s a great house, and I’m so excited by the level of attention and care the book has received so far.
Thanks so much to everyone for your support. More very soon—in the meantime, there’s a new book page with pictures of the work-in-progress, and I’m posting deleted scenes and research on my Tumblr.
Now back to work!
STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST AT THE ECONOMIST’S HUMAN POTENTIAL SUMMIT
A few weeks ago I gave a talk on Newspaper Blackout and Steal Like An Artist at The Economist’s Human Potential summit in New York City. They had an awesome tech staff, so we even managed to weave some of my live drawings from the conference into the talk. Enjoy!
