In the darkest night, the Milky Way tears its way across the sky. The silhouette of an observatory – our gateway to the stars – leads our imagination out across the blackness to whatever lies beyond.
Each cover in the Dark Matter series celebrates the beauty found in darkness and the scenes made by the faintest light. Let your creativity run wild in the black pages of this Gateway to the Stars Notebook.
This extra-thick 120 gsm black paper works great with gel pens (for the brightest colors, look for ones that are formulated to work on dark media, like our Supernova Pens), metallic pens, pastels and even some paints!

The Dark Matter series is built with all-black, extra-thick, high-quality, 100% recycled paper and printed with soy inks, leaving a light footprint. Black paper is best used with gel pens (look for ones that are specially formulated to write on dark mediums – like our Supernova pens), metallic markers, oil pastels, chalk and more. If you've never tried a black paper notebook, now's the time! Your problem sets, class notes, sketches and journal will have never looked cooler.
Be inspired to ask the right questions, find creative solutions to complex problems, and beauty in the little things.
The textured covers of these notebooks have the feel of old textbooks, and with advanced lay-flat pages, they want to fall open, like a well-loved library book. Go ahead and see for yourself – these are the notebooks your most brilliant ideas, sketches, and illustrations have been waiting for.

Core Sample Pencil Bag
Great tape
This was an impulse purchase and I don’t ever have high expectations for Washi, but this is high quality stuff.
As a paleo science geek I love all the archeology/paleo items! You can't find these anywhere else.

Love these
I'm a casual nerd and love geology. These pillows are a great nod to my rock obsession without being overly obvious. They just feel like abstract patterns. But they really fit the vibe of my apartment, match the color scheme I am going for, and are nicely well-made. I go for all cotton or plant-based materials if I am able and these being cotton sealed the deal for me. I love them. They're also the perfect size for throw pillows. Not too small, not overly large. I love them (I got two)!
