After the success of our 59 Illustrated National Parks book in 2015-16, we started thinking: what next? Sure, the book was a fun overview of America's greatest nature hubs but we were looking for a chance to really dig deep and focus on one area. We thought about making a book for the Grand Loop in Colorado / Utah. We thought about all the many wonderful parks in California and Alaska. The Smoky Mountains crossed our mind (they're only 3 hours from Nashville after all) but writing so in-depth about one single Park sounded like a pretty daunting endeavor. Enter Dan...

The coolest part about displaying our art on social media is the responses we receive. While it is fun to showcase our new artwork and offer free giveaways, connecting with people through our creations has been the most rewarding thing of all. We've teamed up with Nashville natives, National Parks explorers, HGTV Tiny House dwellers, and travelers alike to combine our art with their stellar spaces. Today we're featuring a Q&A with some of our advertising partners. The first is with local Nashvillian Marc Crosby about his Instagram photography and following that's been rapidly growing. The second is with a couple,...

Community is the word that comes to mind when we think of kitchen. The room where sweet & spicy aromas are devised, wine is poured, coffee is brewed, and family thrives. In a place that calls for togetherness, we want to help our followers and design-seekers set the tone for their dining atmosphere. With our coffee, beer & wine, Southern, and Spirit of Nashville collections, we decorated two dining rooms: one at a delightfully-green East Nashville townhome and another at a Chip-and-Joanna-style barn loft in Smyrna, TN. For all of the spills and splashes that happen in the kitchen, metal signs are exactly what you need to...

We love that our art can be used subtly and still captivate at the same time. And with 19 collections & over 1,000 designs, we have an image for just about any room, style, or taste. Over time, we've heard "I love your artwork! I'm just not sure where to put it." In this blog series, we'll showcase different spaces that have received an Anderson Design Group makeover. This month, we begin with bathrooms. Your home is your space for self-expression. Whether you're a world traveler, National Parks lover, or kiddo chaser, your walls should reflect what you love. For bathroom spaces, our friends Alyssa and Ray at brasstacksandco photographed a...

Some of our friends think we don't work for a living. After all, we just sit around and draw pictures all day, right? Oh yeah, and we travel to National Parks to take photos and sketch. We surf the internet "doing research" about places that everyone wants to visit. When our friends look around our offices and see travel guides, trail maps, beer cans and bottles, they wonder if we actually have jobs at all.  We LOVE what we do—and we are very blessed that our passion for beauty, creativity, adventure, nature, and good beer happen to be part of a day's...
