Time the annual #Reading of #StealLikeAnArtist by @austinkleon! This #Book really helped me start working on my own games and use my #Creativity more regularly. I am in need of going back to that “flow”, so revisiting these principles might help me. Time to write down some thoughts on my notebook.

Last year I gave my neighbor an owl box for his 76th birthday. Yesterday we were drinking cognac in his backyard and I spotted an occupant!! 🦉

For 2026 I'm going (more) analog.

I'm making effort to do things by hand when I can.

Paper, pens, scotch tape.

I even set up a second, "offline desk" (a tip from @austinkleon) to make it easier.

I'm gonna spend money on art supplies instead of SaaS apps.

It's gonna get weird up in here. 🤘

literally! why do people need things to look realistic so bad? so you can not pay attention to it?
thread of 3 tweets from me, April 2023. text reads: LOVE this from @austinkleon, on why we like it so much when older media keeps its original effects, and how that can be applied to other art: "the imperfections [...] they humanize the work for me and bring me closer to it." [link to quoted blog post] it's why I want the blu-rays of Star Trek TOS, where you can choose between the original with the model shots and the remastered version: yeah, the effects maybe don't seem REAL, but they're wonderful to look at because you see it & go "a human being made that" in a way you don't always do with CGI. if it's well done, it's often ignorable, which can be a benefit at times, but when you're looking at something AS a product of its time, you want to see how it looked to people OF the time. CGI, for all that it gives us, can take away some of that magic.

An unread book isn’t guilt. It’s possibility. 📚✨
Every spine on your shelf is a door you haven’t opened yet—a future idea, a new skill, a different way to see the world. Keep collecting doors.

My YouTube history served me two identical “7 Habits of Millionaires” videos today.
#DanMartell and #ChrisDo thinking alike… or someone took #StealLikeAnArtist by #AustinKleon very literally. 😏

Where do you get your ideas?

Identify the poison in civilization.
Then, imagine the opposite of what disgusts you.
Share this through your art as nourishment for the world.

This poster illustrates a 2004 quotation for the author Kurt Vonnegut, and reads: “Where do I get my ideas from? You might as well have asked that of Beethoven. He was goofing around in Germany like everybody else, and all of a sudden this stuff came gushing out of him. It was music. I was goofing around like everybody else in Indiana, and all of a sudden stuff came gushing out. It was disgust with civilization.” It was published in the first issue of ‘Backwards City Review’. The poster, titled “Disgust is a survival trait…” is taken from Raph Koster’s book ‘A Theory of Fun,’ and recently shared in Austin Kleon’s Substack, ‘All is not well but some things are’.
