About Us

Obvious State is a creative studio and publisher founded by Nichole and Evan Robertson in 2011.

We make bold, illustrated editions and fine art drawn from the classics.

Our books and prints are available in our shop and in bookstores and boutiques nationwide.

Our work has been featured at The Folger Shakespeare Library, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The American Writers Museum, The Emily Dickinson Museum, The Library of Congress, The Getty Museum, The Museum of Contemporary Art and more.

One artist. Over 150 original works. All drawn from the classics.

Pair large text with an image to give focus to your chosen product, collection, or blog post. Add details on availability, style, or even provide a review.

Every piece rewards a second look. Or a third.

Provocative visuals paired with punctuated language, full of surprising visual metaphors, subtext, and insider nudges that reveal themselves slowly.

Books are the original smart device

Our pocket editions are portable art objects made to collect, share, and inspire moments of quiet reflection in an overstimulated digital world.

In Pursuit of Wisdom & Beauty

We’re drawn to language that has stood the test of time, insights that strike a chord, poetry that stretches the imagination, and philosophy that prompts critical thinking.
