New Space Travel Products, Art, and Space Stickers
Attention space travelers and galactic wanderlust enthusiasts! We just released a batch of new space travel-inspired art and products, including Space Stickers, a new 2025 Space Travel Wall Calendar, a best-selling Space Travel Coloring Book, Space Travel Postcards, and more.
Each of these products features original illustrations and whimsical designs of space travel, fashioned in the vintage poster art style of the mid-20th century, the same period when space exploration was reaching heights never before thought possible. These new art designs and products were inspired by the same dreams of galactic family vacations that fueled fantastic pulp fiction novels, comic books, popular science magazines, and even textbooks.
Space travel seems more possible with each passing year than perhaps it ever did before in human history, and these products and poster designs celebrate the next phase of humanity’s exploration… off-world! The art, stickers, calendars, coloring books, and postcards make great gifts for the sci-fi buff or up-and-coming astronaut in your life.
The Best 2025 Wall Calendar Options, Hot Off the Presses!
ADG’s wall calendar options are a huge annual bestseller. These gorgeous 10”x13” calendars enhance any home, office, studio, waiting area, entertaining space, or study with functional utility and decorative style. Beautifully printed on gallery-grade paper, the sturdy calendars feature a 1/8” hole for easy hanging and a wire spine for easy flipping.
This year, the team got together and produced 14 unique wall calendar designs, each featuring 12 of our most popular original illustrations and vintage poster art designs. Each calendar portrays a popular theme, from 2025 Legends of the National Parks calendars to 2025 American Travel calendars, 2025 National Park calendars, and 2025 Space Exploration calendars. These beauties make excellent decor pieces and schedule-keepers, and they are fantastic gifts as they’re both useful and decorative and they look great on any wall in a home or workplace.
New State Pride Postcards
One of our most popular new releases for 2024, the State Pride Postcard Collection is a bold, iconic series of postcard-formatted poster art and travel art created to celebrate each of the 50 states of this beautiful country. (We’ve also added an extra postcard for Washington, D.C.!) Featuring an iconic image for each state and utilizing bold type for the state name (and its nickname), we also included each state flag so that each of the 51 postcards provides a stylish way to keep up with your travels across America while also showing your love for the USA.
Display a card on your wall each time you visit a new state, or use the cards to write notes to your favorite people across the country and around the world. The gorgeous illustrations by Anderson Design Group’s award-winning art team make this collector’s postcard set the perfect gift for every travel buff, history nerd, teacher, student, or postcard lover. These colorful cards are printed on gallery-grade paper and feature informative text on the backside about the history behind each of the 50 states (plus Washington, D.C., of course). Individual postcards measure 4.25” x 6”.

Coloring Book Options for All Ages
Some say the best coloring books for kids are “just for kids,” but we couldn’t disagree more. On the same webpage where our coffee table books live, you’ll find several coloring book options for all ages, from Space Travel to National Parks to Legends and Cryptids.
For our coloring books, we took our award-winning vintage poster art and redrew each composition by hand in coloring book format. We also included reference imagery of our original poster designs to inspire you as you start coloring. Our deluxe 8.5”x11” coloring books are printed on gallery-grade drawing paper with perforated pages so you can easily tear out your masterpieces and display them with pride. Created for use with crayons, colored pencils, or felt tip markers, these beautiful and educational books offer hours of coloring fun!
Home Accents for a Cozy and Decorative Winter Season are 2024’s Trending Gifts
Last year, we introduced the Home Accents Collection just in time for the holidays and cooler months, and these products were some of the season’s best trending gifts. In addition to decorating your walls with our prints, you can now add comfort and adventure to any room with our beautifully printed, high-quality accent pillows and blankets.
Every pillow and plush blanket in the Home Accents Collection is printed and sewn to order. Every tapestry throw blanket is expertly woven just for you.

Since Anderson Design Group got its start in 2007, the studio has produced over 3,000 original poster illustrations in 33 unique collections featuring a vast array of inspirations and design styles. From vintage poster art to travel art, mid-century mod art, Art Deco, national park art, art for children, and so much more, there is sure to be something for your loved one. Every illustration is available in a variety of sizes and styles. Choose from framed posters, unframed prints, notecards, postcards, metal signs, and mini canvases.
Legends Of The National Parks & Other Mythical Creatures
In 2022, ADG Founder and Creative Director Joel Anderson became inspired to create art of mythical creatures and other cryptic and mysterious beings he’d heard about during his adventures in the national parks and on his many international travels. This collection of art and products is dedicated to the spooky myths and legends in America and around the world.
From Joel:
“The artists of Anderson Design Group have spent years documenting the wilderness and wonder of America’s National Parks. We’ve explored, rendered posters, written books, and photographed the nation’s most cherished public lands. During our research and adventures in the parks, we’ve also run across some pretty exciting legends. We’ve heard horror stories about strange creatures that others have seen, heard, (or felt). We’ve uncovered tall tales of unexplainable events, ancient myths, and local stories passed down by Indigenous Peoples, colonial settlers, and park visitors. Many of the legends we’ve come across are based on Native American folklore, and to the best of our abilities, we’ve indicated which tribes were associated with each story, being careful to respect the sacred traditions of Indigenous beliefs. As we continued to dig deeper, we realized that cultures from every continent on the globe have their own rich traditions of mythology that feature bizarre, creepy, and quirky legendary beings. So we began exploring and depicting magical, mythical monsters from all over the planet. We hope you enjoy our Legends Of The National parks art and our Mythical Creatures from Around The World, too!”
Jigsaw Puzzles, Cute Gifts, and Fun for the Whole Family
Gift-giving around the holidays doesn’t need to be complicated, and if you’re “puzzled” about what to buy your family members and friends, give them cute gifts like our deluxe 500-piece and 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles! Created by the talented artists of Anderson Design Group for our puzzle licensees, the boxes are almost as beautiful as the puzzles. We ship our puzzles in a protective outer box to guard against damage in transit. Collect all of our travel poster art puzzles for hours of challenging fun for the whole family.
Speaking of family, puzzles are a great way for everyone in the family to put down their devices and gather around the table or living room floor for a fun and creative team activity where everyone wins. Enjoy solving the puzzles, piece by piece, with the people who matter most.
National Park Board Games and Playing Cards Make the Best Christmas Gifts
The holidays bring people together, and what better way to enjoy the company of your loved ones than with board games and playing cards that also double as the best Christmas gifts? ADG’s national park-inspired board games offer endless hours of wholesome family fun that inspires the whole gang to get excited about the next family road trip. ADG’s assortment of deluxe playing card decks are perfect stocking stuffers and must-haves for camping trips and backpacking adventures.
ADG Apparel: Great National Park Gifts
By partnering with clever clothes-makers like Nashville’s Swiftwick, ADG has produced a collection of beanies, hiking hats, and active-wear socks featuring our original National Park poster art. The quality of our apparel is just as important to us as the quality of the artwork we produce, so you can rest assured that everything in our apparel collection is designed in the USA and made by master craftspeople. Enjoy 10 beanie options, 10 types of hiking hats, and eight performance sock designs.
Holiday Gifts for Employees
Holiday gifts for employees should be clever, heartfelt, genuine, unique, and meaningful, yet not overly expensive or cumbersome to deliver. Personally, we like to recommend ADG postcards and notecards. There’s nothing else quite like them, and they are perfect for inter-office memos, employee-to-employee messages and correspondence, and fun team-building communication exercises.
Best Gifts for Grandparents
Grandmothers and grandfathers can be the most challenging folks to shop for, so we always err on the side of sentimentality and of giving them gifts that remind them of great experiences. The best gifts for grandparents are those that remind them of a beloved family trip they took, especially if it was one they took with you. Thankfully, ADG has over 3,000 original poster designs, easily half of which feature American travel art, world travel art, and art of iconic locations like national parks, national monuments, state parks, forests, camping areas, points of interest, wilderness areas, beaches, islands, and iconic American cities. We’re confident there’ll be something special in those collections for your grandparents!
