Stay authentic from "summary" of Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon
Authenticity is about being true to yourself and your own voice. It's about not trying to be someone else or imitate someone else's work. When you stay authentic, you are being honest and genuine in your creative endeavors. You are not pretending to be something you're not or putting on a facade to impress others. Staying authentic means embracing your unique perspective and experiences. It's about finding what makes you different and using that to your advantage in your art. By staying true to who you are, you can create work that is truly original and stands out from the rest. It's easy to get caught up in trying to be like others or creating work that you think will please others. However, this can lead to a lack of authenticity in your art. When you stay true to yourself, you are creating work that is a true reflection of who you are as a person. Being authentic also means being vulnerable and open in your work. It's about sharing your true thoughts, feelings, and emotions with your audience. When you are authentic in your work, you are inviting others to connect with you on a deeper level and creating a more meaningful experience for both yourself and your audience. In a world where it's easy to imitate others and follow trends, staying authentic can be a challenge. However, when you embrace your uniqueness and stay true to yourself, you can create work that is truly original and impactful. By staying authentic, you are honoring your own voice and perspective, and creating art that is truly your own.
