The Steal Like an Artist Journal: A Notebook for Creative Kleptomaniacs

Great companion workbook to go along with his book of the same name "Steal like an Artist." I got two copies of this for both my husband and I to get out creative juices flowing! Great way to start a creative session when you're feeling a bit stuck or out of ideas. I find it best to just turn to a random page and go from there.

The concept is like the wreak you journal series. However this is catered towards creative souls. Easy to read. Fun and though provoking to get over artists block. Would recommend.

I have barely just started this book, but I love Austin Kleon's weekly newsletter that comes out every Friday and his book, Steal Like An Artist (I think it was his first book). The exercises may seem simple, but they really make you think and your brain keeps thinking more creatively because it has been stimulated to have some fun. He has really opened up my world to the point where I am learning Spanish in a palatable way (versus an overwhelming way). My Spanish technique has nothing to do with his book, but because of his books and his newsletter, I am now thinking so much more outside of the box! Thanks, Austin.

very interesting book.

This journal is awesome!! There are so many creative things to do here. I haven't been able to do much in it yet but really look forward to writing in it. There are so many great ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Some of them are: "draw a comic where each panel is an hour of your day", " take a nap and fill the page when you wake up". There is a lot of space in here to write and draw. A lot of journals like this have very similar prompts to each other, I keep seeing the same stuff. But this one is very unique and creative. I can't wait to fill t up!

.Just love this book. The rest is just gushing... I've liked this guy's work since finding Newspaper Blackout , but then went complete fan-boy when Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative and Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered were released. This journal is the perfect complement to the work that came before and does a wonderful job of immersing you in the process. Forcing you into the role of participant rather than observer. You only get the full value from this book by putting the ideas into action from its predecessors. The perfect gift would be a bundling this book with Steal Like and Artist and Show Your Work (and a few of these... Sharpie Fine Point Black Pens (1742663) .

I love this journal. So many ideas to get the creative juices flowing. I took up a regular collage habit after the exercise where you pull things from your trash and make a collage. I also loved the exercise where I cut up my old writing and pasted into a new poem/story. I’ve incorporated my cut up hand written words into my collages now. Fun book you can carry with you and play with anytime. You really don’t even have to be artistically inclined to enjoy this play book. Your brain will appreciate the alternative to looking at the internet:)

I'm a big fan of Austin Kleon's and this book, it brings back memories. I learned to draw from a book called "Draw Squad" with my dad walking me though the exercises in that; similarly off beat drawing exercises per page. This is a throw back to my childhood when I learned to draw, but this has a wider variety of interesting, creative games in it. It's fun and it's eye opening, I like it myself and I think it would be a nice present to that creative person in your life. Each page basically has a little game/task/exercise that incorporates creativity, drawing, writing, etc. It's good fun!

Me encantó!

The book is very useful, a pure boost for your creativity. The activities are fun and easy, your ideas will surely benefit

I LOVED the prompts!! It’s easy to carry with you and the paper quality is ok. You don’t really need craft supplies for this journal. But, it is so good!!

J'adore ce journal à remplir selon ses envies au quotidien. C'est ludique et stimulant. C'est aussi un beau cadeau à faire.

Ordered all other ‘Steal like an Artist’ books and saw this journal. So excited to use it. Great quality. Arrived in, not damaged.
