“Far more than a nice portable journal for notes, doodles and drawings, the Common Folk Illustrated Journal is an inspirational sketchbook.” –Print Fetish
Constructed of heavy, acid-free, recycled writing paper, the Common Folk Illustrated Journal is the perfect portable book for notes, sketches and ideas. Brooklyn graffiti collective Common Folk carefully illustrated the interior, which alternates 50 contemporary photographs (many of New Orleans and NYC) with blank pages and crosshair guidelines (for precise sketching).

Common Folk started off as the name for a small collective of graffiti artists but soon evolved into a philosophy for everyday life and everyday people. It's an ideology that binds together all people that approach life in creative ways, breeding a common folk atmosphere of inspiration amongst artists, writers, painters, graffiti writers, journalists, photographers, odd thinkers, d.i.y.'ers, doodlers, etc. It's about igniting a thought or sparking a smile on common people, just trying to disrupt the monotony of the all too common daily grind.
