Meeting with Russell and Abby. We started out and Abby did a show and tell on both vectors and photo editing (some of the things she is working on). Then Russell was showing her some cool links and some samples. Here are some notes from Russell:

- Keep practicing and challenge yourself.

- Take your challenge and then look-up how to fix it and how to improve.

- Russell was showing us how he gets inspired and how he goes in and grabs pictures, graphics, websites, animations, and then makes all kinds of collections and such.

- Fighting towards the goal.

- Helping people see your best work - when they see it, they say - okay, you're hired.

- Go find inspiration, energy, and emotions and then build or create it.

- Selling people off of the sizzle.

- Taking something that you like and molding it into something else.

- Keep getting better at things. Build lots of things.

- Inspiration helps you go beyond your own boundaries.

- Talking about styles and being consistent.

- There was some great advice for Abby and myself. Keep going... you are smashing it.

- Transitioning from design work into code work. Good path and good stuff.
