Tyler McCall and Eric Campbell debuted their expanded storefront at 5208 N Clark St, adding more art supplies, new journal brands, and letter-writing supplies to their offering.
The Sun-Times reported that McCall and Campbell plan to convert their original 400-sq-ft space into a Paper & Pencil creative studio rather than give it up entirely.
The second annual event, hosted by McCall and Campbell's Paper & Pencil, drew roughly 2,000 people and sold out all available tickets within half an hour.
The public radio outlet spotlighted McCall's shop as part of a broader trend of surging stationery sales; Paper & Pencil reported 150% year-over-year sales growth in 2025.

Daily follower snapshots from CreatorDB's longitudinal index.
Tyler J. McCall is a Chicago-based creator whose Instagram presence is rooted in the stationery and paper goods community. His bio links directly to @paperandpencilchicago, suggesting a close affiliation with or ownership of a Chicago stationery brand or shop, and to @chicagostationeryfest, positioning him as a key organizer or advocate within that local creative scene. Rather than being a passive content consumer in his niche, Tyler appears to be a community builder — someone who has helped establish and grow a physical and cultural space around analog creativity, paper crafts, and stationery culture in the Midwest. His micro-tier following of roughly 38,000 on Instagram reflects a tight, community-driven audience rather than a broad general reach.
His audience skews young adult and is predominantly U.S.-based, with modest international reach across the UK, Canada, and beyond — a profile consistent with a domestically focused lifestyle and specialty-goods creator. Engagement sits near the category baseline, reasonable for a niche with strong in-person and community components where followers often engage offline as much as on-platform. The stationery and paper goods space has seen sustained commercial interest from boutique brands, independent retailers, and lifestyle product lines, making Tyler a credible partner for brands targeting craft-adjacent, design-conscious consumers. His dual role as creator and community organizer gives him an authority in this niche that raw follower counts alone don't capture, and continued growth of the Chicago Stationery Fest could meaningfully amplify his positioning over time.
Tylerjmccall reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via Instagram Reels and Stories. As a lifestyle creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. With no brand deals logged yet, they read as an available, category-aligned partner for advertisers building early presence in the space. Engagement on YouTube runs around 1.3%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. Their YouTube-first format lends itself to integrations that sit inside the creator's usual content rather than running as standalone ads. Because the audience follows lifestyle content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United States-focused brands in lifestyle and related categories, Tylerjmccall offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.
