Description

Welcome to Plumb, a new line of journals designed and illustrated by contemporary artists. Conceived in collaboration between Knock Knock, artist Tucker Nichols, and design firm MacFadden & Thorpe, Plumb journals are made by creative people for creative people. Each element is carefully considered, from inside to outside, paper to binding, size to function, with the aim of enhancing the creative process. Every season, the Plumb team works with three selected artists to design the blank journals that they want to see in the world. The artists are asked to think about how they use journals in different environments, for varied applications, and about the meaning and utility of recording their ideas. Often they have been inspired by store-bought journals which they"ve altered and hacked to suit their unique purposes. Plumb originated out of the belief that creative people want more than blank or merely decorative repositories for their thoughts and ideas. Plumb"s highest goal is to make journals that not only look good but also serve as catalysts in the creative process. By offering journals envisioned by working artists, Plumb speaks to those who seek to live their most creative lives. Plumb, Goods From the Creative Salt Mines. Tucker Nichols is best known for his smartly funny drawings and large-scale gallery installations. He often takes inspiration from found objects and from the surroundings of his studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. Nichols"s work has been featured in museums and galleries around the country and in Europe, and his drawings have been published in McSweeney"s, The Thing Quarterly, and the opinion pages of the New York Times. As long as paper and pens exist in the world, Nichols plans to keep on creating.
