Permalink | 665 notes withdoom: tristancofer: I just finished Mr. Austin Kleon’s “Steal Like an Artist / 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative” this week so I thought I’d share a little excerpt. The book itself is a quick read, really no more than an hour tops, but I think that’s part of why I enjoyed it. No pseudo-psychological mumbo-jumbo on how to “foster your creativity”, just a few insightful observations from the author and a whole mess of great quotes from people much smarter than myself (Goethe, Einstein, Picasso, King Solomon…)  Pick up a copy if you get a chance. Very good, very good indeed.

The finger print is something that is so small it can go unnoticed yet I wanted people to see it and appreciate our own unique mark, our own art work.  (via Jacob Hashimoto - Current Exhibitions - the-end-of-gravity-h72-x-w72-x-d8-gallery-view.tiff)

Permalink | 3 notes It took me about 5 hours to cut out a stencil of my fingerprint but this is the finished result on newsprint. I have now ran out of spray paint so need to buy more before I create further mischief with this stencil.
