  ENCORE: AARON DRAPLIN Designer Aaron Draplin takes us on a GEN X tour of the skate punk and snowboarding world of his youth. Where zines ruled the day and skateboarders were total outsiders. Are there mentions of Dinosaur Jr.? Yes. Is there a caper involving fast food and the retrieval of skateboards from a boss's office? Yes. Is there a lot of fun, wisdom dropped, and the sweet follies of grunge? Hell yes! Aaron entered the world in Detroit, Michigan—and skipping ahead a bit in 2004 founded the design company that he runs today, Draplin Design Co. After a bunch of years at Showboard magazine he quickly moved from designing graphics for snowboards to creating icons for multinational companies.
