Austin Kleon rings in the first CreativeMornings/Austin event on a good note, setting the bar high for future talks at the Texas chapter.
Austin wants us to stop fetishizing creativity. Stop using ‘creative’ as a noun. And stop treating the creative process as some sort of magical mystery that always ends in beautiful work.
Instead, he wants us to not just show the product of those creative efforts, but show our process. Austin walks us through some of his messier moments, the 'shadow galleries’ of being an artist and a father. He calls for authenticity, but not just in the trite way it has become to be known—but as artists and designers sharing their work with other people.
Watch the talk.
