Coming to you live from the big orange van—well maybe not live, but we did catch Aaron Draplin for an episode of Overtime while he was on tour for his new book Pretty Much Everything.
On Policing “Ripoffs”
“Before the internet, you don’t think I tried to emulate Chuck Anderson or House Industries? Of course, I did. I still do. That’s how you learn.”
Draplin’s Instagram Strategy
“I will try to sell something or promote an event because people need the help with the bandwidth. But then you’re going to see something, every four of five posts, that’s just stupid—that’s just for the hell of it.”
On Merch
“That's the funny part about merch—people who can’t even think through it. You actually need this in your life. Not everything is an app. ‘What am I going to use this pencil for?’ Sharpen it and use it on a scrap piece of paper and you might surprise yourself.”
Listen to the episode for more words of wisdom from a design legend. A big thank you to MyFonts for sponsoring Overtime. If you’ve always wanted to sell your fonts but didn’t know how to get started, check out the MyFonts Foundry Tools.
