Steal Like An Artist gives you permission to copy your heroes’ work and use it as a springboard to find your own, unique style, all while remembering to have fun, creating the right work environment for your art, and letting neither criticism nor praise drive you off track.
Good artists copy, great artists steal. - Pablo Picasso
While this quote is incredibly popular, the truth is that Picasso didn’t literally steal other painters’ work. He merely imitated his favorite artists a lot.
That’s what Steal Like An Artist is about. The creative process, this strange imitation game, and how seemingly unrelated dots connect in ways we can't even imagine.
