FAR FROM A TYPICAL SELF-HELP BOOK, CREATE REBELLION IS INSTEAD A TRUE MANIFESTO, A SMALL CREATIVE BIBLE FOR THE DISRUPTIVE SOUL. An avant-garde stream of consciousness that seeks to inspire creative minds to listen to their inner desires to create, to be disruptive with their creations, and to disregard those who don't see the beauty of their inspired vision. "I was taken in by Create Rebellion's unique position as a chameleon text; it sits comfortably between prose, poetry and manifesto. ... Even a slice will resonate." - The Jotter Magazine "Create Rebellion is sure to inspire creatives to question their purpose, enabling them to disrupt and think beyond their orbit. Tripp's distinct voice refreshingly expresses the beauty of every artist's quest for inspiration with real panache." -Melatan Riden, Director of Design at TBWA/Chiat/Day Excerpt from CREATE "Always remain accountable to these creative yearnings inside your soul. Suffocating these desires inside you is as insufferable a sin as any. Those who suppress these beautiful winds that churn inside them are spitting into it and will only have their salivary shiftlessness spewed back at them. Always listen to the frivolous frequencies within yourself and indulge as many as you can. Be unabashed in your attempts to spark these vibrant hues while remaining open to inner transmissions at all times. Do not violate the divine inner workings that have been crafted inside your core, for accepting and heeding these premonitions is the key to everything you wish to accomplish. ... Make the figments of your imagination come to life like brilliant shooting stars firing into a cobalt sky."
Bought it as a joke while I was drinking. Laughed out loud while reading it sober. This “manifesto” is a mess, but it has some fantastically dumb one-liners.
Ah it always feels warm and privileged to write the first review of a book. I'll be honest on all fronts here. This book is very small. The subtitle even calls it a manifesto. It felt like it was just that, or even a treatise, but lovely work nonetheless.
With an explosion of alliterations and adjectival ingenuity, Robbie Tripp bursts onto the literary scene with this tiny work of beauty. It's message is simple and important, and should be read by all those who wish to create art in whatever medium they may. This book came into my life at a perfect moment and has inspired me to refocus my focus on creating, on finding inspiration, and on eschewing fear and naysayers.
Can't wait to see what cometh next from this budding author.
