Hey all you hungry kick ass designers. The series of skypes and lectures is going to kick off this FRIDAY MARCH 5th in the EMERITUS ROOM with ELLIOTT EARLS. It should be an interesting session. I hope you have taken some time to endulge yourselves with Elliott's work.

And after that its up to you to ask Elliott any questions or comments you might have for him. And please do, dont feel nervous. All of us will figure out how things go with group skype sessions the more we do it.
