We have all heard about that one before :-)
This happens to be the title of a new book I am going to pick up for some quick reading this week. It is by a guy called Austin Kleon, who lives in Austin (duh!) and whose bio reads "I'm a writer who draws". Yes, he got me at his bio. His earlier projects included The Newspaper Blackout - how he used a sharpie to blackout words and create poetry out of newspaper text :-)
This is one of the talks he gave at The Economist where he speaks of how artists steal (the right way of course).
"We can pick our teachers and we can pick our friends and we can pick the books we read and the music we listen to and the movies we see, etcetera. You are a mashup of what you let into your life."
And an awesome poster from his book that caught my attention.
So what are you going to steal today?
