Austin Kleon - SE05 / EP02
Sketchnote Army Podcast
The Value of Books
"A book is a very specific, it's trying to do a very specific thing," he says. "I want people to like the kinds of books that I read and then do things afterwards" The author also has a list of things she wants readers to do after reading his work.
This week Mike talks with Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like and Artist, Show Your Work (and a new book on the way) about sketchnoting, visual thinking, the publishing business, and more in this on-location episode at Medici Coffee in Austin, TX.
