How do you keep your creative space set up? What inspires you?
Oh man, my space is 8x10ft and dedicated to making 3d collectible character sculptures. Every wall and surface needs to be functional.
Aside from the Knick knacks and books that fuel me there isn’t much room for extra stuff. But I’m super privileged to be living this creative lifestyle with the rest of you!
I don't. It is a mess.
What meaning _“set up”_ is? If I can smell neither urine, nor faeces, I’m good.
Also, I think you’re conflating _“inspiration”_ with _“crippling substance abuse problem.”_
Been working on it all my life. It moves and evolves constantly. Then I watch this and want to do it all over again.
I like multiple little drawers and stacking.. but it feels like it(the room) gets messy quick anyway :'D
after a tour with Mr Draplin, you always end up wanting to dedicate the rest of your life to creativity and printing
THIS
This is the most excited I’ve been for a RUclips video in a looooong time, and I waste a lot of time here.
It’s not wasting time if you’re learning sumthing! lol. Time well spent!😊
Omg! This guy is my new creative hero! His passion is off the charts! I love that he keeps his inspirational talismans. Please do a creativity inspiration podcast! Your energy is magic.
I've never heard of this guy before.. but I am now a huge fan and am blown away by his process.
Never heard of him, but you definitely have seen his work and just didn’t know!
A very inspiring chap. Lovely space.
Aaron's like the Jack Black of design 😊
i get it! its cuz hes round and has a big beard!
I’d love a book tour!!!
What a pure soul Aaron Draplin is. Blessed.
👇 Draplin for president button
Jim Draplin would be proud that you've continued the family tradition of (organized) hoarding
So inspiring ❤
This dude is wise as hell.
Still a massive inspiration to this day... and so down to earth, what a guy!!!!!
couldn't agree more
We need more people like Aaron Draplin in the world.
It’s a museum for designers and art in that space is incredible 😍
This brightened my day.
New to your work...LOVE the space and your designs!
Love everything about what he said and shared - one of my biggest inspirations! Thank you for giving us an inside peak into the space and the mindset. ❤😊
So glad!
This is the dream! Draplin taking "work from home" to a whole new level of EPIC!
100%
this guy loves his random stuff and i think thats beautiful
Before my Grandfather died he gave me 3 books from the 1950's, they're Commercail art manuals of the design trends for the 1930's, 40's and 50's. beautiful books, they give me a lot of ideas when I'm working on a new design.
Awesome video and tour, thanks for sharing!
We were fortunate to meet Aaron a few years ago and he is the nicest guys ever.
Love his passion for creativity and design, his work shows it.
Draplin is the best! I have seen him live a few times and it's 100% worth it. I am and have been a huge fan of his work!!
This was a great video. Loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely adore him! He seems like such a great guy and fun to be around. And gives the best advice/tutorials. Even the Field Notes advertisement was on the longer side and super interesting. He is seriously the best! ❤
Draplin forever!!
I have his book, he is so full of passion. It really shows. It makes me rethink what I want to do
This was crazy inspiring!!
So inspiring, Drap! Good to see the inner sanctum.
Aaron is such a force. I love his work - He’s truly inspired me over the years.
Us too 🥹
Literally my new favorite person. Such a cool dude.
This must be the most beautiful Place on Earth!!!!
"Come get some shit!" has to be one of the best slogans ever!😄
I met Draplin once and he's the absolute best. He also has possibly the biggest hands i've ever seen.
Draplin is my design god. Love it!
I love Aaron so much. His joy and love for design is exactly the spirit that I try to convey in what I create and in life! Oh, and I definitely need that Dinossaur Jr. poster. 😍
That Vita Ferm hat! Sold one just like that on Ebay years ago when I picked up a several tubs of vintage farm/ranch hats...man, there was some fantastic lids in there! Thanks as always for inspiring and fueling passion.
This gentleman is a legend and a true inspiration for hard work
thank you so much, Aaron!
Just found a new person to be obsessed w/ lmao. This guys energy is infectious and the way he speaks about his space / archive shows how much he cares.
This guy is a hero of mine. It was a privilege to have classes by him over Skillshare, I've learned a lot!
Wish I had friends like this guy
It’s like when I first saw his OG Skillshare video I was learning design and I took that and learned how to create concepts efficiently and now I can learn how to create my space and why that’s valuable. Draplin been there for so many of us in all our stages of being creatives. Great stuff
I like this video, I like this guy.
I hope I'll learn from him well, my new teach lol
Always anticipate Draplin videos. Could hear him talk and watch him design all day long.Super Inspiring. Would love to work with him :) one day
Great guy… an inspiration :)
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching 💚
love it!
Love Aaron Draplin. This studio is goals!
If True Passion was a Person! DRAPLIN IS IT!!
Being able to have a studio like this is a Mega Goal of mine!! Aaron is the goat
What a dude, what a space 🔥
DUDE!!!! I luv your studio! You space is kick butt!
I was without adequate dedicated studio space for years and FINALLY got studio space last year. It's literally 35-40' from my apartment. I adore being able to just run home (or to my studios) in less than 45 seconds. My "commute" is insanely easy. I don't have to drive to/from the studio, worry about traffic, parking, gas or getting there on time.
I so luv all your "flat file" cabinets and how organized they [you] are!
I did a triple take when you pulled the drawer of oil sticks or markers then smelled them as if you remove a pan of cookies from the oven. LMAO!!!
Aaron you're art kool dude I would totally hang with.
Congrats on your space!
I cannot think of another human that has made more cool shit than Aaron Draplin.
this dude is a fuckn vibe
truly inspiring. damn!
Love this guy, what a fantastic human.
I have never heard of this guy
LOVE!!!!
such a goat of our time lmaoo
Beautiful! Just placed my first order 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Ridiculously inspirational as always.
Organized hoarding ✨
😂 exactly
Aaron is my hero!!!
Love you Aaron Draplin. ✌️
Wowwwww
Your creativity and organization is incredible
Best studio tour on the planet
What a great hooman
great shop. Great life! You're doing what you love!
the legend, the myth
I like this guy! And his designs just made me feel happy with the vibrant colors, so cool!
man, i love this hahah amazing
You are my inspiration!
I Love this man....inspirational
Just the best!
This is the most amazing and inspiring studio ever. It feels like a place that was established generations ago and holds this energy of creativity in every inch of that place. I always personally feel the need to get rid of my pens, markers and supplies because I feel I don't respectfully use all of it often but, maybe I don't have too seeing this video.
Thankings eternus Mr. Aaron Draplin.
Tech Deck...respect
Este man es increible.
I've always found inspiration from Aaron Draplin and this is at just the right time for a workspace reorganization! It's time to get the toys off the desk and onto a shelf that's still close by.
Everything about this feels on brand for DDC. Man that record collection - unreal.
Many moons ago, I caught onto Aaron and his approach to design and life. To say it completely changed my own life and execution as an artist / designer (whatever) is an understatement. I read his book till the spine wore out when it was released. I've gotten to meet him before and he is super cool and super genuine. Keep it going, Aaaron! Thanks for the inspiration.
This is gold. Made my day. Thank You!
Glad to hear it 💚
This was really cool to see. I like that you surround yourself with things that YOU like and things that inspire you. I have a bunch of “junk” that makes me happy and serves as inspiration as well.
Best studio owner and best studio tour I've seen in years. I love you AD! So inpiring. You're the Jack Black of graphic design.
Thoroughly enjoyed! Have not regretted keeping all my steel drawers...
"Little moves that go a long way". Thats all I needed to extract from the gumbo of this mans physical representation of his imagination. Says so much with so little.
The evolution of Apple Displays in each office iteration is amazing.
“With all do offense to Microsoft” 😂😂😂
Aaron is the best. Love this BTS tour.
He should make some flannel shirts. I could see orange and black plaid w/ his DDC logo patch on the chest. Work shirts would also be a great idea.
Such a dope studio. ❤
The Shinola runwell turntable set up 🫶🏻
Boom!! 💥 Making my tiny 80ft Seattle Shedio (shed studio) feel amazing to be in right now!
You rock Aaron and thanks Skillshare for the video!
🤭 Thanks for watching!
the best!
He is 😮💨
I love this man, "With all due offense to Microsoft" 🤣🤣🤣
Classic DDC
DassDope! I'm a left-handed graphic designer living in the Bay Area I'm inspired by how neat and organized your office is unfortunately MINE IS NOT LIKE THAT😂🤣😭😭😭. Keep the good work keep being inspiring and I wish I had your vinyl collection.
I love his book!!
Been following your works since 2017!
Aaron is a legend, great video!!!!
