Throw out the rules and rediscover the joy of creating – from the bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist

Feeling burnt out, distracted, and out of fresh ideas? In every creative person's life, there are times when you lose the energy, joy, and freedom you had when you were first starting out. From the recent art school graduate to the retiree searching for their creative third act, we all need help returning to the excitement, the sense of discovery and the raw creativity of a child at play.

In Don’t Call It Art, best-selling author Austin Kleon shares ten rejuvenating lessons he learned from being a studio assistant to the artists closest to his heart: his two young sons. This is a creative liberation handbook for looking at the world with fresh eyes, unlearning what you've learned and making new leaps in your life and work.

Austin Kleon is a writer who draws and the New York Times best-selling author of a trilogy of illustrated books about creativity in the digital age: Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work! and Keep Going. His books have sold nearly two million copies and have been translated into over thirty languages. In previous lives, he worked as a librarian, a web designer and an advertising copywriter.
