Austin Kleon: Show Your Work! (Paperback, 2014, Workman Publishing Company, Inc.)

Kleon claims he hates self promotion. And indeed this is a book about how to - as an artist, creator - create meaningful connections, find (not necessarily build) audience without using the "promotion" and "marketing" strategies. Most of the time. It's a good book with good advice.

There was a bit too much of subjectivity projected as objective in this book for my taste. It's lovely and well written book, but somehow often a bit superficial.
