"Never compare yourself to anybody else."

In his talk peppered with work pulled straight from his iPad, illustrator Robert Generette III dishes out cheat-codes for making the most of your creative life.

Known as Rob Zilla online, he’s a “vector art monster” who draws for fun and for clients including major league sports teams. In this talk for our Washington, DC chapter, Robert also shares his process and plenty of Dad jokes.
