Vivacious Variety in Olympic National Park (by Mike Baker)
Established in 1938 by Franklin D Roosevelt, Olympic was the nation's 21st National Park, founded on Washington's rugged northwest peninsula and named after 7,980' Mount Olympus. It is an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site, two designations granted to the park due to a rich geography that includes hundreds of species of animals (including over 300 species of birds) and over 1,100 species of plants. The park's distinct ecosystems create a range of diversity rarely found elsewhere: a rugged coastline, glacier-capped mountains, forests, and rivers. The peninsula's diversity attracted –and kept– pre-historic humans, who hunted mastodon with stone-tipped spears as far back as 12,000 years ago, supplementing their diet with deer, elk, and gathered plants.

The 2018 National Parks Photo Contest
One of our favorite parts about coming into work each day (besides getting paid to draw cool pictures) is interacting with our fans. Y'all are the life blood of this company & your passion for travel (especially to America's National Parks) inspires us constantly.

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.

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,...

Designing Your Space: Kitchen Edition
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...

Designing Your Space: Bathroom Edition
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...
