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.

Constructed of heavy, acid-free, recycled writing paper, the Common Folk Illustrated Journal is the perfect portable book for notes, phone numbers, sketches and ideas. Brooklyn graffiti collective Common Folk carefully illustrated the interior, which alternates 50 contemporary photographs with blank pages and crosshair guidelines (for precise sketching).
