Product Description:
Back in 2018 I got a call from one Erik Johnston at CSA Design. And he laid this one on me, “French Paper was interested in doing an “Aaron Draplin” promotion!” WHOA! We put our heads together and went digging in the archives. Kids send in drawings of me, right? Always weird, always awesome and I logged every single one of them along the way. A good chunk of them went into our DDC book, but others were kept on ice for the next big thing. And that’s what you are seeing here: A 25-card set of portraits of MY MEDICINE BALL HEAD, illustrated by a wild list of HEAVY HITTER graphic designers, illustrators, beasts, brawlers and convicts.

We aren’t selling these. Instead, ALL PROCEEDS from these go to charities in the local Portland area for folks who need a warm meal. The $24.50 price covers the shipping and 20 bucks from each set goes to making sure folks have a warm meal each night.

(+) Each set will be signed by, well, little ol’™ me. These card sets are AMAZING. And it’s BEYOND SURREAL to see 25 portraits of my medicine ball head? THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. There are some heavy hitters in there taking a swing at me, and we love each and every card! So fun. And the best part? Created by our design heroes at the mighty CSA Design in Minneapolis! EPIC! These just can’t get any cooler. Thank you to Chuck and Eric!

Today, we release these beasts out into the wild, and we aim to help some people along the way.
