AUSTIN KLEON AT BOOKPEOPLE

Last night, 5/30/14, Austin Kleon had a reading of his new book, SHOW YOUR WORK, at BookPeople (a Great independent bookstore). Sharon Smith, Cindy House and I got a seat down front. This is some of my sketchbook notes from the reading.He said originality is an idea of Capitalism, a Romantic notion. I do agree that chasing "originality", beyond one's own personal expression, isn't all that interesting.
