Category: Art of Play

An inspiring guide to creativity in the digital age, Steal Like an Artist presents ten transformative principles that will help readers discover their artistic side and build a more creative life.

Nothing is original, so embrace influence, school yourself through the work of others, remix and reimagine to discover your own path. Follow interests wherever they take you—what feels like a hobby may turn into you life’s work. Forget the old cliché about writing what you know: Instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch.

And finally, stay Smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring in the everyday world so that you have the space to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work.

Stella D. ★★★★★

I’ve dog-eared almost every page already because the ten principles actually feel doable, not like lofty artist talk. The way it frames borrowing ideas as a legit first step really clicked for me this week, and it’s short enough to reread in one sitting.

Aurora ★★★★★

The ten principles here are so straightforward that I actually started applying them the same night, and my sketching output has doubled since. It's the kind of book you finish feeling like you've been given permission to create, not just told to.

Henry ★★★★★

I dog-eared half the pages on my first read-through, and the ten principles genuinely shifted how I approach my morning sketch sessions. It’s the kind of book you keep on your desk, not the shelf.
