    Book Review: Keep Going ๐Ÿ“š

    Austin Kleon is an artist who has a real talent for writing. His books are small, short, quick reads. But every single paragraph sparks something in me and leads me to three or four new ideas. Half of the book is text while the other half is full of his art.

    Iโ€™m as inspired finishing this book as I was finishing his last, Show Your Work!

    Would I recommend: YES

    ISBN: 978-1523506644
