About Obvious State

Obvious State is an independent press co-founded by husband and wife team Nichole and Evan Robertson in 2011. Our work is inspired by beautiful language that has stood the test of time, witty insights that strike a chord, poetry that stretches the imagination, and philosophy that prompts critical thinking. EVAN is an award-winning illustrator and designer with over fifteen years of experience. He has worked with publishers (Penguin Random House, Doubleday, Gibbs Smith, Andrews McMeel, Juniper), bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Chapters Indigo, The Strand, Blackwell’s, Waterstones, Powell’s, Shakespeare & Co.), museums (The Metropolitan, Getty, Museum of Contemporary Art, Gardner, Michener, American Writers Museum), and libraries (NYPL, LA Public Library, The Library of Congress). NICHOLE has over 20 years experience as Writer and Creative Director. Prior to cofounding Obvious State, she worked with advertising agencies, brands and magazines including Amala Beauty, Tribal DDB, MRY, Aveeno, Reebok, Kiehls, Estee Lauder, Prescriptives, Bumble and Bumble, Esprit, Real Simple and more. Nichole is also the author of five books: Paris in Color, Paris in Love, The Paris Journal, New York in Color, and Literary Paris.
