“A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”-Henry David Thoreau   Henry David Thoreau put it best. There is an untold magic in our inland lakes. These are the objects of inspiration for artists like us. Being that we ourselves are big fans of a trip to the lake, our team at Anderson Design Group was inspired to create the Lake and Lodge Collection, a series of 36 handcrafted illustrations that feature cabins, lake houses, fishing, swimming, camping, boating, some of our nation’s...

August is a month of eventually's: the evenings eventually become cooler,  the grass eventually becomes wet with the morning dew, football season eventually kicks off, and the summer eventually, though unofficially, ends when students in much of the US start back to school. By this time, most parents and kids have gotten a good start to the school year with the help of a SUMMER READING LIST. Though it varies by state, district, school, and grade, summer reading can keep a student captivated and wanting more once school starts, whether that's adventure on the high seas, science fiction, mystery, the macabre, or the simple fairy tale. And certainly, any of our Literary Classics posters can provide a lure to hook and engage a young mind....

“At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.”-Sandy Gingras That quote is the stuff of inspiration for artists like us, and it's those feelings about our coastlines and beaches that inspired Anderson Design Group to create the Coastal Collection. There is a certain magic in that transition where the land meets the ocean, a special aura where, very suddenly, the ground slips away and becomes water. If you’re a lover of beaches, a fan of an afternoon in the sun,...

“Our family loves to travel, venturing out in search of those unique moments of artistic inspiration in far-flung destinations. But some days, all we have to do to find great ideas is to just take a step out our front door and into the history and charm that is Nashville.” -The Anderson Family That’s right, Anderson Design Group is a family-owned and operated business here in Nashville, and our love for our hometown is on for display in our Spirit of Nashville collection. This collection features original artwork, vintage-style illustrations, and handcrafted poster art, all of which were envisioned, designed, drawn, colored, and printed right...

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Mission. On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong took humanity's first "walk" on a celestial body other than Earth when he stepped onto the Moon's surface. Alongside this monumental achievement, it's also important to remember the work provided on the back-end by the many, many individuals, groups, and machines that helped make this historic landing even possible.  People have desired to walk on the Moon since antiquity, expressing this desire in various art forms for centuries. The physical reality of doing so, however, did not  become a possibility until Konstantin Tsiolkovsky's eponymous rocket equation in 1903 and Robert Goddard's first liquid-fueled rocket in 1926. By 1949, having reaped...
