Welcome to episode #676 of Six Pixels of Separation.

Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #676 - Host: Mitch Joel. His books are small and square. Don't let the format and design fool you, they are also some of the most satiating books that can (and should) be read over and over again. It's no surprise that millions of people agree. Austin Kleon is The New York Times bestselling author of a trilogy of illustrated books about creativity in the digital age: Steal Like An Artist, Show Your Work!, and the recently published, Keep Going. He's also the author of Newspaper Blackout, a collection of poems made by redacting the newspaper with a permanent marker. In previous lives, he worked as a librarian, a web designer, and an advertising copywriter. He grew up in the cornfields of Ohio, but now he lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and sons. If you don't get his awesome weekly email (a list of 10 things that are worth sharing), you don't know what you're missing. His has very unique thoughts about how to live a more creative and valuable life. The lessons are deep in this chat, and it may wind up changing how you bring yourself to work. Enjoy the conversation...
