Seems like a nice clued up chap. And nice to see a large designer doing so well.

The guy is a MASSIVE inspiration! I've seen him speak a couple times and he really gets it. He could easily be a standup comic.

I think he's fantastic and has been a big inspiration as of late

Big fan of artists and designers who come from the skate/snow board world. They're more creative and far more fun than the pretentious SJW douches that seems to permeate these professions.

I wish I were more like him when explaining design and process with clients. He seems to have a unique, no bullshit knack for it.

seems like a great dude. doing what he loves and doing it well. couldn't ask for anything more as far as an inspiration to all of us old farts wondering what the fuck we should do when we think design has escaped us.

For the longest time I thought he was just another loud mouthed designer like Mike Monteiro.
Then I met the guy and he completely changed my perception of him. He's such a humble human being. I've seen him talk about 5-6 times now, and he continues to be stand as one of my faves.
When his monograph came out this year, I was floored. I'm not sure there's another designers alive that is as passionate and prolific as Draplin. If you don't have it yet, I recommend dropping the $25 for the monograph, it's quite good (lots of great stories accompany all of the work).

His Marc Maron interview was awesome!
