Fan Letter: Austin Kleon

Dear World,

The other day, I received a great piece of advice from Austin Kleon, an artist and author living in Austin: Write Fan Letters.

Actually, I received a lot of great advice from him through his book, “Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative.” I’ve never read a book faster. Austin made it easy.

Looks like I’m just in time to read his new book, as are you.

“Show Your Work: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered,” officially launches today and if you’re in Austin on Saturday (March 8th), it would probably be worth joining the book launch party.

Or see him on the road sometime soon, somewhere closer to where you are.

Find lots of great stuff on his website, from more inspiration to the right links to Austin’s social media, and more.

With Thanks,
MCK

MCK

Born in Smalltown, America, 30+ years on the planet, and almost 1/3 of my days spent in China, these days I see the world in full color, rarely is anything simply black or white. And instead of pretending everything is always either right or wrong, you can usually find me somewhere in between, asking questions and trying to connect the dots. I'm a language enthusiast, a recovering perfectionist, and bic pen aficionado. Find me in a good conversation or feel free to start one with me.
