How To Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon
Note: This is a slightly edited version of a talk I gave yesterday at Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York. It’s a simple list of 10 things I wish I’d heard when I was in college. All advice is autobiographical. It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past. This list is me talking to a previous version of myself.
Here’s a quick and easy tutorial that’ll teach you a cool method of transferring a photo print (black and white or color) onto a block of wood. All you’ll need (aside from the photo and wood) is some gel medium and Mod Podge . You’ll want to use prints made with some kind of laser printer or copier rather than an ink printer.

Being creative and realizing our talents involves a lot of self-awareness and respecting who we really are, including our unconscious depths. In an interview about her film “Flightplan,” Jodie Foster commented, “When you’re a dramatic actor you look for films that hit you in the gut, in this unconscious place that really moves you, and then you can’t help but make the movie because it’s something that you fear and you want to know more about it.” She added, “I think that every film that I do, even though it might not relate to me autobiographically, has some very personal pull in there and there are questions that I ask myself that I can’t really resolve any other way.”

A couple of days ago my friend Steve tweeted a link with this great quote by Ira Glass .With the immediacy of social media I expanded the circle of sharing by retweeting and posting the link on Facebook. Then I got to thinking. While many forms of social media are fantastic for being able to quickly share stuff with others, I felt like this particular piece of information needed a more permanent home.

“ I want you to tell me about every person you’ve ever been in love with. Tell me why you loved them, then tell me why they loved you. Tell me about a day in your life you didn’t think you’d live through. Tell me what the word “home” means to you and tell me in a way that I’ll know your mothers name just by the way you describe your bed room when you were 8. See, I wanna know the first time you felt the weight of hate and if that day still trembles beneath your bones.I’ve seen a lot of designers take on a daily project of some sort lately. I think it’s a great idea — something to keep your creativity flowing, especially during downtime. And I’ve particularly enjoyed watching the progress Mark Weaver has made with his Make Something Cool Every Day project. I’m not sure what the thinking behind these pieces are, but I’m really drawn to his layering of photography, illustration, color and type.

My name is Jamie Wieck and I decided to write #The50 Things Every Creative Should Know ( #the50 ) when I realised I was not the first, nor the last student to fear the leap between art college and the creative industry. Inspired by my own, and my friend’s (sometimes rocky) experiences within the creative industry, #the50 addresses the most common concerns held by graduating creatives and aims to bridge the gap between art college and the professional world.

The nine muses—Clio, Thalia, Erato, Euterpe, Polyhymnia, Calliope, Terpsichore, Urania, Melpomene—on a Roman sarcophagus (2nd century AD, from the Louvre ) The Muses ( Greek : Μοῦσαι , moũsai : [ 1 ] perhaps from the o-grade of the Proto-Indo-European root * men- "think" [ 2 ] ) in Greek mythology , poetry, and literature, are the goddesses of the inspiration of literature , science and the arts . They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths. In Boeotia , the homeland of Hesiod, a tradition persisted [ 3 ] that the Muses had once been three in number. Diodorus Siculus , quotes Hesiod to the contrary, observing:
