The Steal Like an Artist Journal: A Notebook for Creative Kleptomaniacs

Great companion workbook to go along with his book of the same name "Steal like an Artist." I got two copies of this for both my husband and I to get out creative juices flowing! Great way to start a creative session when you're feeling a bit stuck or out of ideas. I find it best to just turn to a random page and go from there.

The concept is like the wreak you journal series. However this is catered towards creative souls. Easy to read. Fun and though provoking to get over artists block. Would recommend.

.Just love this book. The rest is just gushing... I've liked this guy's work since finding Newspaper Blackout , but then went complete fan-boy when Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative and Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered were released. This journal is the perfect complement to the work that came before and does a wonderful job of immersing you in the process. Forcing you into the role of participant rather than observer. You only get the full value from this book by putting the ideas into action from its predecessors. The perfect gift would be a bundling this book with Steal Like and Artist and Show Your Work (and a few of these... Sharpie Fine Point Black Pens (1742663) .

I bought this book because I saw a woman on the train flipping through her copy and feverishly scribbling in it. I glanced over to see what book it was and now I've got my own copy! It's really neat and brings out the creative part of a person. You don't have to be a real artist or anything to use this journal. This could be for the every day person. It's a good tool to have to collect thoughts and express your creativeness. Each page has a different topic that guides you to think and express. You can be as humorous or as serious as you like. There are no rules. I've been scribbling and writing in it as my muse allows me and as I get inspired. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wished it was longer (because it's so good)! I definitely would recommend this journal to anyone and it makes a great gift as well.

I love this journal. So many ideas to get the creative juices flowing. I took up a regular collage habit after the exercise where you pull things from your trash and make a collage. I also loved the exercise where I cut up my old writing and pasted into a new poem/story. I’ve incorporated my cut up hand written words into my collages now. Fun book you can carry with you and play with anytime. You really don’t even have to be artistically inclined to enjoy this play book. Your brain will appreciate the alternative to looking at the internet:)

This journal is awesome!! There are so many creative things to do here. I haven't been able to do much in it yet but really look forward to writing in it. There are so many great ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Some of them are: "draw a comic where each panel is an hour of your day", " take a nap and fill the page when you wake up". There is a lot of space in here to write and draw. A lot of journals like this have very similar prompts to each other, I keep seeing the same stuff. But this one is very unique and creative. I can't wait to fill t up!

I have barely just started this book, but I love Austin Kleon's weekly newsletter that comes out every Friday and his book, Steal Like An Artist (I think it was his first book). The exercises may seem simple, but they really make you think and your brain keeps thinking more creatively because it has been stimulated to have some fun. He has really opened up my world to the point where I am learning Spanish in a palatable way (versus an overwhelming way). My Spanish technique has nothing to do with his book, but because of his books and his newsletter, I am now thinking so much more outside of the box! Thanks, Austin.

Just received Austin Kleon's "The Steal Like an Artist Journal: A Notebook . . ." today from Amazon! I love the quality of the journal itself and its built-in bookmark! I purchased this journal as a gift for a relative who draws and is a performance artist! I'm so excited and proud to give this gift to such a creative soul! Love all the very clever, creative inspiring daily "jump starts", "catapults"and "keep up the momentum" liners on each page!

Me encantó!

The book is very useful, a pure boost for your creativity. The activities are fun and easy, your ideas will surely benefit

I LOVED the prompts!! It’s easy to carry with you and the paper quality is ok. You don’t really need craft supplies for this journal. But, it is so good!!

J'adore ce journal à remplir selon ses envies au quotidien. C'est ludique et stimulant. C'est aussi un beau cadeau à faire.

Ordered all other ‘Steal like an Artist’ books and saw this journal. So excited to use it. Great quality. Arrived in, not damaged.
