"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." - Oscar Wilde
From his 1892 play "Lady Windermere's Fan." In our illustration, an inverted cobblestone street winds beyond an archway that cradles a woman. The rain puddling on the cobblestones reflects the stars "above.”

Obvious State is a creative studio and publisher founded by Nichole and Evan Robertson in 2011.
We make bold, illustrated editions and art drawn from the classics.

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.
Every piece is illustrated by Evan Robertson — a single artistic vision applied to some of the greatest works ever written.

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.
