I just found HOW TO STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST  by Austin Kleon (the book is coming out in march 2012), and I wanted to share it with you guys. Some quotes:

“Kurt Vonnegut said it best: “There’s only one rule I know of: goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.” 

“As Flaubert said, “Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work” 

“Devoting yourself to something means shutting out other things.

What makes you interesting isn’t just what you’ve experienced, but also what you haven’t experienced.

The same is true when you make art: you must embrace your limitations and keep moving.

Creativity isn’t just the things we chose to put in, it’s also the things we chose to leave out. Or black out.

And that’s all I think I have.”
