 * Speedy keep there is a lot of coverage available for this designer of a recent US postal stamp and the well-known Field Notes notebooks. He also has a significant book published about his work. I had no trouble finding in-depth sources (coverage links: Wired, Design Week, Alt Daily Adweek, the Design Observer, the Missoulian, the Globe and Mail) and the New York Times. If you search, you will also see that he has been an invited speaker at dozens of design schools and conferences. I gave up counting after I saw 40 announcements of him speaking somewhere significant. He therefore meets  WP:ARTIST point 1: "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors". This should not be at deletion. I have trimmed some of the promotional aspects of the article.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:16, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
