Reading: Show Your Work

Today I completed the Austin Kleon trilogy, our of order, with Show Your Work. It does not cover getting gigs, publishing, shows, or any of that stuff. Any of that stuff that comes under the heading of showing a bit of art. Instead, it’s about you showing or sharing your work. Sharing is key here. Share the process of the making, not just the finished product.

Do this everyday, “Share something small everyday.” Everyday. There is advise for the people who don’t create that much yet. Share who you admire or steal from. Certainly there’s something you’ve done (watch a YouTube video?) that you want to tell someone about it. Do that.

There’s more, but that’s what the book is about.
