Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon | Buy the limited-edition art on 20x200.com here.

In the newsletter, Charlie writes:

Today’s edition, and the book it came from, all originated from a list of 10 principles Austin wished someone had shared with him when he was first starting out. Eager to share his list with everyone (as he is with all his work, including “deleted scenes” and his sketchbook), he turned his pointers from a talk to college students into a blog post (which quickly went viral), and eventually into a book. It wasn’t long before Steal Like an Artist became his second New York Times bestseller.

Miroslav Huptych

Miroslav Huptych (born 1952) is a Czech poet, artist and art therapist. The photographs are illustrations he created for his book Black Hen (published in 1991), an anthology of folk superstitions. The collages were pieced together from excerpts he found in old magazines and forgotten books. Using this process of fragmentation and distillation he composes an entirely new harmonious, humourous and dreamy landscape, reflecting the spiritual nature of his writing.

His ongoing love for working in the fields of both art and therapy are evident from his comments below in 2009:-

“The stories that people tell me in the course of therapy sessions are so interesting that I sometimes ask myself whether I shouldn’t be the one who’s paying - just for the privilege of being able to listen.”

“You can’t make a living at poetry. It’s too spiritual, too intimate, for that. In fact it’s the poet’s love, and so it shouldn’t be for sale.”

If you’re going to be in North Texas this Saturday, pay special attention to what you’re about to read. The Belles of Texas have organized a portfolio of feminine excellence. They are calling the portfolio “The Bump It Mafia,” the bump it hair-do symbolizing their strength in unity. There are rarely portfolios stronger than what these ladies have to offer. The reception of celebration will be held at the Meme Gallery in Rubber Gloves, Denton, TX. Be there or don’t! (If you don’t, tears for years.)

A year and a half ago my husband and I went to Washington over Christmas break. Since then I’ve been dying to go back. Looks like td0ggie took nearly the exact same journey as we did, ferrying from Seattle to the Olympic Peninsula, all they way to the same beach on La Push.

Small Museum of Nature and Industry (2010) by Susan Collard

“The smallest book I’ve made to date, this is a little fatter than a perfect cube. Materials include birch aircraft plywood, basswood, slate, various metals, mirrors, linen thread, and a shell. With the title and materials in mind, I tried to make a book with the open-ended complexity of a miniature museum.”
