I helped put on a conference last month where he was the keynote speaker. I hung out with him for a day and I will tell you they were the nicest, coolest, least pretentious people i have ever hung out with.
For the past couple years he has been focused on his "Happiness Project" which will culminate in a film he is releasing this year. The film was directed a co-produced by Hillman Curtis before he passed away. We got to see 10 min of the upcoming film and it looks fantastic.
You might not like all his work (though I like most of it), but the guy is the real deal.
I also know exactly how much he charged to come out and speak and it was much less than $10,000, though if he had charged that much it probably would have been worth it.

Whilst I'm not a huge fan of his work, he seems like a very laid back, self deprecating guy.
He also seems to really know his shit when it comes to design, even if i don't like his work.
He also knows how to choose the ladies. daayyuum.

Can someone explain that stationery system?

The fact he may be a 'nice guy' makes it all the more obnoxious they carry on with publicity seeking stunts like those above.

What's his typeface and why?

- way to discredit anything she's done.albums
- I hardly think he was struggling. Maybe burned out though.omahadesigns
- the black rectangle really doesn't need to be so big. i saw the picture before. half size would cover it easily on himoey
- Hardly intern. She has her name on the door.ESKEMA
- recent grad, he school work is nice though. If I had two semesters to work on a piece it would be hot too..robotron3k

His accent and awkwardness gets him off the hook for a lot unprofessional behavior that would normally be followed by lawsuits. At the same time, you have to kind of admire him for pushing boundaries. Demeaning women of course isn't cool.
- what behavior?mtgentry
- Drawing those pictures he used for identity on a napkin would get you fired at any job, let alone publishing it. That behavior.instrmntl
- he didn't want her to be naked. it was her choice, actually. it was originally going to be him naked and her dressed standing on bookslvl_13
- Oh demeaning was more towards a cd of a girl giving a guy head.instrmntl

I get that some people might be turned off by the stunts, but there's other work that's great:

Stefan Sagmeister's Jokes Have Officially Gotten Old
At the Webstock conference in New Zealand, the designer led with a tasteless story he's been telling for years. It didn't go over well.
- Christ, what a bunch of wet farts.
Also, he stole the act from Bill Hicks.

Why do so many folks hate on people with abilities they'd like to have? Sagmeister is an outstanding creative and so is Walsh. Most designers live in crappy apartments smoking joints thinking about how great they once will be at her age.
- exactly how many folks hate on people with abilities? and what exact pecentage of designers live in crappy apartments smoking joints.Bluejam

"i'm a designer look at my naked body" is not good work
