You donrsquo;t need to be a genius; you just need to be yourself. Thatrsquo;s the message from Austin Kleon; a young writer and artist who knows that creativity is everywhere; creativity is for everyone. A manifesto for the digital age; Steal Like an Artist is a guide whose positive message; graphic look and illustrations; exercises; and examples will put readers directly in touch with their artistic side. When Mr. Kleon was asked to address college students in upstate New York; he shaped his speech around the ten things he wished someone had told him when he was starting out. The talk went viral; and its author dug deeper into his own ideas to create Steal Like an Artist; the book. The result is inspiring; hip; original; practical; and entertaining. And filled with new truths about creativity: Nothing is original; so embrace influence; collect ideas; and remix and re-imagine to discover your own path. Follow your interests wherever they take you. Stay smart; stay out of debt; and risk being boringmdash;the creative you will need to make room to be wild and daring in your imagination.

Glad they never happened. Oddly. none of the talented cast went on to greater heights. Altman saw what they had and exhausted it. This was particularly true of Ronne Blakely who everyone expected great things from. Some of the cast survived though not spectacularly: like Lilly Tomlinson. the only one who had an important career before Nashville." Henry Gibson stuck around and Jeff Goldblum got some meaty parts but most of rest faded away or disappeared altogether.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. excellentBy CustomerEnjoyed reading about one of the best films ever made.
