A small flood of gracious requests have come in from our readers requesting some “sneek peeks” at new work that has been churned out of the Draplindustries Design Co.™ factory floor. You hear it from us all the time; a series goddamn broken records exclaiming, “Another busy week behind us.” and “Big projects on the plate.” Enough of the hot air.

As promised, here are a couple nuggets for you to check out of current work, from the last couple months, that is currently out on the streets.

Our contributions to the CINCO DESIGN OFFICE are in no way to be confused with the DRAPLINDUSTRIES DESIGN CO.™ examples showcased on this page. The work we’ve done at CINCO, easily ten times the amount shown here, will be documented, exploited and celebrated through official web sources as presented by the troops of the CINCO DESIGN OFFICE. A notice will surface once that work is up and runnin’, so be patient. Very proud of all of it, be it “clandestine, after hours projects,”’ or “when we’re on the clock” for the good people of the CINCO DESIGN OFFICE.

Great work Aaron!

Looking good, Aaron. Glad you are disciplined enough to split the compooter time between the intranut and getting actual work done. Couple of questions-

The 7 years of DDC poster- are they printed? I want to buy one. If they are not printed, www.jakprints.com will blow you away with their poster prices. No joke.

The DDC field journal- is it a one off or did you make multiples? I want to buy one. Help you out on your house down payment and stuff, cause I know that designers don’t make as much flow as art star painters do.

What a pleasure to admire the volume of work you are able to accomplish….

I am proud of you and glad that you may have inherited a few genes from me that organized that brain of yours, I am glad to have taught you how to draw those stick men when you were a curious three-year-old, I am glad that I instilled some kind of discipline (hauling wood, cleaning your room once a month or so, mowing lawns, working hard making pizzas, etc.) that rolled over into your school work and now your job and your lifelong hobby: creating art…..

I can’t take all the credit though; your dad is partially responsible for your being……he contributed an expansive sense of humor, a love and appreciation of family, friends and life itself.

I, too, want to buy each and every item you displayed here……well, at least send the artwork, as I need to add it to the sampler “aaron draplin” files, which grew from a few files to a file drawer and now a storage box.

Complements to the chef! Alright, here it is. Rose is coming up there in week or so, I’m putting a hand full o’ cash into his mits to bring me back:
(1) “Seven Years of Draplindustries” Poster
(2) “DDC Mesh-Backed Head Apparatus no.01 (in maroon if possible)
So many windows open right now…

AJD/DDC + Apple® products + Good Music + Lots of hard work, hours, and dedication to the Craft = Great work!

Let me know if have any of the mesh backed head apparatuses left (BLK). I’d be proud as punch to cover my “Tides-A-Rising Dome”. And a 7 year poster too. How much $?

Props to you!!!

Dude -
Mesh Caps? When? How many? Why no tell?
Have I been thrown from the Merch Wagon?

Always cool shit. I believe your attention to detail comes from being forced to mow the front lawn with diagonal stripes, to look like the outfield at Tigers’ Stadium.

Ryno, where’ve you been? Didn’t you notice the Elder Cooley wearing one in a post a few weeks back? You’re obviously not spending enough time combing your friends’ websites.

Drap, where’s the photo of your DDC-logo marbled-purple velvet/polyester cape with matching tophat, for the Maniotii of the world to wear as costume for Grecian rassling and nights-out-on-the-town?

Stuff looks incredible though, great spread and presentation. The terrifying part is, I know it’s just a drop in the bucket, you prolific sumbitch.

Don’t mind me. Just coming over here for a breath of fresh air. Things are getting too hectic over at PJ’s site.
Phew!

So Aaron, you got like 6 people here all begging to BUY hats and posters and field journals from you. What’s the word?
