We’re kicking off our 2019 subscription drive with a bang: Graphic designer extraordinaire Aaron Draplin (Field Notes, Draplin Design Co., Pretty Much Everything). Though Aaron is best-known as a visual artist – everything from magazines to books to concert posters to a US postage stamp – music is at the core of his work and upbringing. During our call, Jason talks to him Aaron about his music influences, his love for design of all stripes, his trajectory as a guitarist and the music lessons he’s taking from fellow Portland resident Pete Krebs and much more.

As part of our subscription drive, we’ll be sharing all-new podcasts, videos and articles all month long. Love our podcasts and want to help us grow? Join us by subscribing today.
