Steal Like an Artist

Because it's Sunday and because this is possibly the last Sunday in a while where I will be enjoying my Sunday morning watch food network and do almost nothing routine, thanks to a job and school and final exams and Easter, I thought I'd send you someplace else today.

Yesterday one of the blogs I read linked to this article, and I read it, and then read it again, and thought it was fabulous, and that you should all absolutely read it too.

Here it is:

How to Steal Like an Artist (And 9 Other Things Nobody Told Me)

Go.  Read it. Then come back and tell me what you think of it.

The Scream

Artist Edvard Munch commented about the inspiration for this painting coming while he was out walking with two friends, "My friends walked on—I stood there, trembling with fear. And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature."

I was caught by that quote when it arrived in an email this morning.

I've sensed that scream at moments, in little ways.

I feel it myself a bit these days.

I'm caught by this painting today.

Snails

I really liked the creativity displayed here.

"A Slow-Moving Street Art Project".

So fun.

Plus, snails have been catching my eye this last while.

Thanks to Marko for pointing this one out.
