Obvious State

Obvious State is the New York City-based creative studio and literary brand of Evan Robinson. Obvious State art is inspired by provocative language, classic literature and elegant design.

Evan focused on the humanities and classic literature at Yale and then doubled down on classical theater at Juilliard. He spent four years as a professional actor and musician in New York City, where he met his wife Nichole. Their common love of language and culture eventually brought them to Paris where Evan began working on branding and marketing with international clients as well as doing illustration, privately and commercially. Evan makes time for plenty of creative pursuits, the most recent of which (The Illustrated Quotation Project) celebrates the great ideas, great thinkers and great language.
