Steal Like an Artist 10th Anniversary Gift Edition with a New Afterword by the Author 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative (Austin Kleon)

And Austin Kleon wrote about this in Steal Like an Artist, another book of his that I found very thought-provoking.

Number one is steal like an artist from Austin Cleon.

Like what Ken was saying, go look at what other people are doing and make it your own.

There's a whole book by my buddy Austin Kleon called steal like an artist and the whole idea is like artists are always saying like oh I'm original I'm original I'm original I'm original and he's like literally no one is original so just do take the bits of the best things from other people that's what real artists do that's what we do you know so we do it sure yeah we do it all yeah we do all of that stuff.
