As opposed to the real gap being between being good and great work. Austin shares a quote that says “the real gap is between doing nothing and doing something”.
The idea here is that your work doesn’t have to be done or perfect, or you don’t have to be an expert, in order to share something. Like this episode? You might want to hear the three big ideas from Austin's first book Steal Like An Artist. This book is not just for “creatives”! Whether you’re an artist or an entrepreneur, a student or a teacher, a hobbyist or a professional, it’s time to stop worrying and start sharing. In ten tight chapters, I lay out ways to think about your work as a never-ending process, how to build an audience by sharing that process, and how to deal with the ups and downs of putting yourself and your work out in the world.
If Steal was a book about stealing influence from others, Show is about influencing others by letting them steal from you. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and sons.Ī book for people who hate the very idea of self-promotion, Show Your Work! is the followup to my New York Times bestselling guide to creativity, Steal Like An Artist. In previous lives, he worked as a librarian, a web designer, and an advertising copywriter. New York Magazine called his work “brilliant,” The Atlantic called him “positively one of the most interesting people on the Internet,” and The New Yorker said his poems “resurrect the newspaper when everybody else is declaring it dead.” He speaks for organizations such as Pixar, Google, SXSW, TEDx, and The Economist. He’s been featured on NPR’s Morning Edition, PBS Newshour, and in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. His books have been translated into dozens of languages and have sold over a million copies worldwide. He’s also the author of Newspaper Blackout, a collection of poems made by redacting the newspaper with a permanent marker. Austin Kleon is the New York Times bestselling author of a trilogy of illustrated books about creativity in the digital age: Steal Like An Artist, Show Your Work!, and Keep Going.
