How To Steal Like An Artist Without Being A Thief

<p>If you copy artists you look up to enough you will shift from imitation to inspiration. </p><p>From copying to emulating. From emulating to making your own stuff</p><p>Then, and only then, you will start creating in your own voice.</p><p>How I would do this is by creating a quick steal list. Victim list is a bit harsh, especially because any great creator would be honored and thrilled for you to steal from them. But I think you get the idea. How I would do this is to make a list of six creators you look up to. </p><p>1. Find two people creating content in the medium you have chosen.<br />2. Two people creating on the platform you have chosen<br />3. And two people who share similar topics, or ideas you have chosen.</p><p>Steal some of their style, creative decisions and thought process as you start shipping your own work.</p><p>Austin Kleon covers this concept beautifully in his book titled “Steal Like An Artist”.</p><p><i><strong>**For the full written version of </strong></i><strong>the </strong><i><strong>episode see the transcript. </strong></i></p><p><strong>FOLLOW Justin</strong><br />Instagram -<a href="https://www.instagram.com/justtries/" target="_blank"> @JustTries</a><br />YouTube -<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAbjTC5Q9Vg4ZzB9zfN95MA" target="_blank"> Just Tries</a><br />Twitter -<a href="https://twitter.com/JustTries_" target="_blank"> @JustTries_</a><br />Tiktok - <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@justtries" target="_blank"> @justtries</a><br />Pinterest -<a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/justtries/" target="_blank"> JustTries</a><br />Facebook -<a href="https://www.facebook.com/JustTries" target="_blank"> Just Tries</a><br />LinkedIn - <a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/justtries-justinnolan-justkeeplearning ">Justin</a></p>
