Killer Ideas. They're out there. Wild, unpredictable and dangerous. So powerful they can stop a person in their tracks, turn a life around, start a revolution, or even change the world. Hunting the Killer Idea takes the intrepid reader through the jungle of the mind as the creative process is brought to life in vivid detail. Examining what it is that makes great ideas stand the test of time as we attempt to capture the essence of creativity. Along the way we talk to those who have hunted down their own Killer Idea and lived to tell the tale. An artist, Ad-legend, anarchist, rock-star, philosopher and many other heroes and villains relive the thrill of the chase and pass on their unconventional and original advice. Whether you're the creative type or not, starting a business, studying, making art or just mucking around.
This book is essential reading for anyone who knows they've got a Killer Idea hiding somewhere deep inside and the time to hunt it down has come. Hunting The Killer Idea captures the creative process in a fresh, unexpected and compelling way and assembles the big ideas and sharpest insights from around the world. Hunting is not only of practical use in terms of approach and technique, but is also a source of inspiration to help break through the barriers we all encounter This book is a must read for anyone who realises the time for procrastination is over.

I have become an admirer of Patti Smith since coming upon a remarkable short film of her very moving meeting face to face with Pope Leo at the Vatican.
So joyous and inspiring. Her presence and her breathtaking response to Pope Leo so genuine.
Something to remember 🙏🌹❤️
I love Peter Blake’s artwork and have done so for decades. This overview of his work was too good to resist at the price. Excellent quality book.
One of my “rules” about online shopping is that”never sign up for the email marketing”. Well, I am glad that I broke that rule for Books About Art. I have bought three books as a consequence of being on their mailing list, books that I would otherwise have never known to exist. All sent in secure packaging in a timescale well within the estimated delivery period. Great prices too. The non-mint books really are excellent value too as the one I got looked brand new.
In short, sign up and start discovering!
Excellent service, prompt delivery, great price!
Highly recommended
Thanks for subscribing!
