Austin Kleon's talk "Steal Like An Artist" is a creative manifesto based on 10 things he wish he'd heard when he was starting out. Austin is a writer and artist. He's the author of Newspaper Blackout, a best-selling book of poetry made by redacting newspaper articles with a permanent marker. Austin's talk was delivered as part of the TEDxKC presentation of TEDxChange.
Austin's work (including his new book) "Steal Like An Artist" has been featured on NPR's Morning Edition, PBS Newshour, and in The Wall Street Journal. He speaks about creativity, visual thinking, and being an artist online for organizations such as SXSW and The Economist.

i tried explaining this to my professor. she was pissed. she said ANY idea that didn't 100% come from just my head i had to "cite my sources".. seems simple enough, right???... WRONG. Because everything i know came from something else, whether it was from a parent, grandparent, teacher, or just experience. I said "Nothing is knew under the sun." Technically NOTHING we do is original, we are just imitating. Even our own creativity is nothing more than an outflow of our Maker.

Just because it isn't original, and/or a remix - that doesn't mean siting sources isn't required. It is always a good idea to provide the inspiration of the work. Giving credit where credit is due is never a bad idea. If the source is your grandma, then the source is your grandma.

@emilieclairehope9157 2 года назад
I think that the reason the word “steal” is so essential here is because to steal is to take ownership of something that previously belonged to someone else. Imitation is merely pretending to have something that belongs to someone else. Theft inherently involves transformation; what is theirs becomes yours. When something inspires you, you must *make it yours*.

Inspiring and freeing concept. Not really to "steal", but instead use others' works as a tool to get your own creativity moving along. Turn and play with other people's words and ideas to find and make something new. Thanks Mr. Kleon for some history on the concept.

i have a writer's block for more than 10 years now and after watching this video i feel inspired for the first time in a long time and am amazed how many opportunities i suddenly see where i can draw inspiration from. And what i saw as one of my weaknesses, having no original thoughts but having a good capability to come up with my version of somebody else's work, is basically what an artist does.

Had I known this while studying architecture! I used to be so uber anxious about "plagiarism" that everything had to be original and nothing copied or transformed. But yes as an artist I've known for a long time, it's tough to get around intellectual property rights, but inspiration always comes from viewing something of personal interest, whether its in a magazine, on the street or a conglomeration of what we've seen in the real world presented in our dreams while we sleep. Thank you thank you thank you.. this is a great example of how to turn criticism into research that helps everyone else as well!
@karlabrandao4799
@karlabrandao4799 7 лет назад
I'm an architecture student and my teacher recommended us this book in our plastic arts workshop, in my first semester. I was always so self-conscious about my work and didn't think I could be creative in any way, but this book helped me a lot. I did a lot of research and basically put pieces of things I love together with some of my own ideas and views, and it turned out great. Got my best grades in that class and my teacher loved my work. Every once in a while I read it again. One of my favorite books in the world.

I've been experimenting with this philosophy in the Navy while serving as a Commanding Officer with great results. We call it "Best Practice Convergence" and our team has been "stealing" the best ideas from other commands, making them our own, and then exporting them back to Fleet. Talk about an enjoyable path to deliberate progress and a shared legacy. Thanks to Austin for packaging a similar message so very well...

He is absolutely right though, everyone emulates what they love (and even hate) whether it be music, drawing,painting sculpting writing. The way we speak and dress. What we eat and how we cook even. Everything is derived from something and it's up to us to use it tastefully. For someone to claim they're entirely original in any way is pretty ridiculous.

We read, we look and we listen and we add our personal handwriting to our creations. If we don't we just copy. We want to create something new. We think we are original. At the beginning of this speech I was sceptic, but he has a point. This is really an eye opener.

A nice way to remind ourselves of their achievements, and also those from the dim and distant past.

I think it has to do with our perception of loss, so we think it's ok to do it unless is being done unto us. Look for the TED talk by Kirby Ferguson and his documentary series "Everything is a Remix". This talk by itself feels like a 'remix' of that, much informative one.

Keith Richards and Mick Jagger cut up newspapers to come up with the lyrics for Casino Boogie when they were recording Exile on Main Street in France. I think Richards wrote that they had simply run out of ideas after doing so much recording, so they used the newspaper method.

@MemphiStig

to be clear, ak didn't steal anything, except newsprint. i mean, he used redaction creatively, without knowledge of similar 'art' that might already exist. originality is relative to the creator. newspaper blackout was an original idea to AK, but only a variant on the larger scale. it doesn't invalidate the art or the artist to invent something that isn't entirely new. and it isn't all simply outright stealing. the expectation that whatever one thinks up is fresh and new and never seen before is the illusion, not the originality or creativity of one's thoughts. the expression is what matters to the creator, and that is always valid. he's right tho. creation is often inspired and propelled and channeled by what has gone before, and thievery is a legitimate part of the trade, in proper contexts. As Bono said, 'every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief. All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief.' See also the South Park episode, "The SImpsons already did it." Maybe the best guideline is if you the creator know that your ideas were inspired by others, you should label them as such. If it was your idea without prior knowledge, tell critics to stfu. also, it's invalid to say that you're following in the footsteps of someone you never heard of, whose work never even brushed your life, tho it isn't wrong per se to place yourself in the company of similar creators. (lineage is a different issue.) Credit where credit is due, but don't lie or lie down. And face it: no matter what you the creator do or say, the haters gonna hatehatehatehatehate.
