Austin Kleon Made a Career Out of Showing His Scraps

Nicholas Callaway
Nicholas Callaway is a New York publisher, app maker, and television producer who has spent more than 40 years making books and media that push the limits of how art can be reproduced. As founder and CEO of Callaway Arts & Entertainment, he produced Madonna's 'Sex' (still the best-selling illustrated book of its era), David Kirk's 'Miss Spider' series, the $22,000 life-scale Sistine Chapel three-volume set, and the panoramic 'Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine.' In 2010 he spun off Callaway Digital Arts with backing from Kleiner Perkins, after Steve Jobs took notice of his children's apps, and went on to publish #1 hits like 'Endless Alphabet.'
