austin kleon

Austin Kleon is awesome. So awesome that I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to write about him. He is an Austin based artist/web designer that writes poetry by blacking out words in New York Time's articles, leaving only select phrases/prose. Lately I have been seeing his work everywhere... yay him! Seems like a really nice guy... poems about his wife AND he has a dachshund (which is not the sole criteria for being deemed nice, but it don't hurt). He also just came out with a book that you can purchase here.
