  I love this journal so much And the book it is based off of is even better The activities are simple entry ideas that really help boost creativity I recommend this for anyone trying to improve their creative mindset I took away a star because the corners were bent when I got it it was shipped in an envelope and i think a box would have protected it better BUT it wasn’t a deal breaker for me because I know I’ll use it a lot and it will probably look a lot worse in a couple weeks anyway The fourth photo is an entry example I made my handwriting looks very similar to the example writing but I believe I will really fall in love with this journal

  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 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 techniue has nothing to do with his book but because of his books and his newsletter I am now thinking so much outside of the box Thanks Austin

  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 poemstory 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

  I'm a big fan of Austin Kleon's and this book it brings back memories I learned to draw from a book called Draw Suad with my dad walking me though the exercises in that; similarly off beat drawing exercises per page This is a throw back to my childhood when I learned to draw but this has a wider variety of interesting creative games in it It's fun and it's eye opening I like it myself and I think it would be a nice present to that creative person in your lifeEach page basically has a little gametaskexercise that incorporates creativity drawing writing etc It's good fun

  Just love this book The rest is just gushingI'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
