Joel Anderson, founder of Anderson Design Group, graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design in 1986. His design firm has been creating branding for companies all over the world since 1993, but Joel’s real hobby/obsession is vintage poster art. Joel and his team of artists have admired and studied classic illustrated advertising prints for years. When they wanted to collect their favorites, they found that antique prints were just too expensive and the best public domain reproductions have been over-exploited. So, Joel had an idea, “What if we created our own classic poster designs featuring modern themes, but hand-rendered them in the tradition of the masters of the Golden Age of Poster Art?” So, they did just that. One of their first design collections, Art and Soul Of America, has won loads of design awards and quickly became a best-selling series of limited edition prints. Today, Joel and his team at Anderson Design Group, continue to create new lines of prints from the city of Nashville.
All the Anderson Design Group pieces are a perfect start to any theme room in your house! They are also the perfect gift to relive the memories of your favorite vacation!

Originally from Indiana, Suzie Eifrid, is the youngest of 5 kids and was born and raised into a very artistic family. She found her way to Atlanta where she now resides on a former dairy farm with her partner and daughter. The farm is home to her “live models” consisting of five dogs and two cats. The four-legged companions reign free over the farm as a constant source of amusement along with being the driving force in her art. Suzie enjoys all mediums and constantly explores the diverse world of color and texture.
Welcome to the DENY Artist Family Suzie! We love having you and your remarkable artwork on our team.
Oh have we got a treat for you.
Every month we’re taking you behind the scenes of the DENY network and into the homes and studios of the most creative people we know…our artists and in-house staff! There’s something beautiful about peeking into someone’s life behind closed doors. You get to see their personality truly shine through in their home decor selections and tastes, while also getting a glimpse into their inner workings.
To kick off our DENY At Home series, we’re giving you an intimate look into the wonderful world of one of our DENY Artists, Kal Barteski. Learn about her intense love for polar bears and why the color black is her knack. So, sit back, grab your beverage of choice and prepare to be inspired by this rad artist!
First things first, Kal. If you were a superhero what would your catchphrase be?
Making letters awesome!
And you sure do! How would you define your unique style?
I’m bold, but painfully simple.
What do you love most about your neighborhood?
I’m super lucky to live in an old, established and extremely conscious ‘hood. It’s walkable. It’s social. It’s community based with farmers markets and ‘walking school busses’ (that’s a real thing!) and family-run corner stores. Our neighbourhood is centrally located, full of parks, massive old houses, 100-year old elm trees, artists and a pretty outspoken commitment to the environment. I love it here.
Sounds like bliss! Favorite room in your house?
I love our main floor. It’s kind of a living room/kitchen/dining room combo.
What are 3 necessities that you feel are needed in every room?
Oh man. I need light, a throw blanket, and ART.
We couldn’t agree more! What’s the story behind the oldest heirloom in your home?
Besides the house itself, I have a pair of old trunks from a boat that came to Canada from Europe around 1910. That’s around the time our house was built. I like to think that that journey was an adventure that started here and carries on. (Plus they are big, black, weathered and fabulous.)
Wow! We love the story behind vintage finds. What was your biggest splurge (in home decor)? What was your best bargain?
Splurge: we had an extra long dining table made from reclaimed grain elevator floor boards. I love that. Bargain: I made a dining room light out of wire I found in the garage.
LOVE that light. What a great DIY! And speaking of that beautiful dining table: You can invite 6 people (living or dead) to a dinner party. Who made the list?
Maya Angelou , Kelly Slater, Charley Harper ,Barack Obama, Tina Fey and a polar bear.
Ha ha. You sure do love your polar bears! 5 things you can’t live without?
Black leggings, apples, Bensimons, big sunglasses, white t-shirts
Favorite item in your house?
The house itself. It’s OLD. It turned 100 last year and it’s a beast. But, the character cannot be beat.
If you had to choose a piece of your own artwork and build a room around it, which piece would you choose and how would you compose the space?
The WHEN YOU LOVE painting is one my personal favourites and I HAVE built a room around her.
And you did it well! Now, let’s talk about YOU. Where do you see yourself as an artist in 5 years?
I’d be really happy if I was still here. Still painting daily and riding along with this rad adventure.
Sounds like perfection. If you had to describe yourself as a color, what would it be and why?
Black. Steady, mysterious, versatile.
We love your studio workspace. It looks so fun to create in! If you’re running low on creative inspiration, what’s your remedy?
PLAY. I have three fantastic daughters under five and two insanely adorable French bulldogs. Seeing life through the eyes of those five balls of creative energy – fills me up in the best of ways.
ADORABLE!! Speaking of pets, what are your pet peeves?
People who are LATE. Image theft online. Clutter. Excuses. Unreliability. Also super annoying to me: dogs barking.
If there’s one artist (dead or alive) that you would want to have drinks with, who would it be?
Banksy. Totally.
What do you think about when you are alone in your car?
Colours. I think about paintings I want to do. I think about polar bears and what to get for groceries. Really exciting stuff!
If you could only do one dance move the rest of your life, what would it be?
Running man. Definitely.
That’s why we love you. Why do you love DENY?
Easy, bold, fabulous.

An kick-ass guy living in Minneapolis/St. Paul area, Nick Nelson has always felt that when Art and Design coexist in harmony, timeless work is produced. A Graphic Designer by diploma, and an Artist at heart – Color, Illustration, Typography, and Humor are the cornerstones of his work. Influenced by everything from vintage postage stamps to early 90′s skateboard designs, he’s never once complained about a lack of inspiration.
We’ve loved having Nick Nelson as part of the DENY family. He’s someone we’d totally have a beer with.
With the 6th Season 2-hour opener right on the horizon, we thought we’d celebrate by featuring a one-of-kind Mad Men collection! We’re giving you the best of the best DENY designs that reflect everything we love about the Mad Men series: The 60s era colors and patterns, the New York city retro mentality, and the cool cat vibe that our favorite characters ooze out of every scene.
Matthew Weiner, the creator of Mad Men, took a brief hiatus directing his first feature film, “You Are Here,” an independent comedy with Owen Wilson, Amy Poehler and Zach Galifianakis. Now back in full action, he’s launching Mad Men with fresh stories and new character developments. Especially focusing on Don Draper, Mad Men fans are expected to see new sides of the character and be re-introduced to the cigarette-smoking, whiskey-loving ad executive.
And with new rumors and photos just released of scenes shot of Don Draper and his wife in Hawaii, we’re in for a treat this season and can’t wait to see the beautiful costuming and set designs!
Make sure to set your clocks for the premiere this Sunday, April 7th at 9pm/8pm Central.
Happy Tuesday Tunesday!

With these digitally designed and handsewn characters, they had the opportunity to present in Antwerp, Belgium at the Fashion Museum’s HomeMade Exhibition in 2007. The following year, Amee and Csaba’s work was showcased atMyplasticheart Gallery in New York. After receiving great exposure for their toy designs, Chobopop branched into digital vector illustration and graphic design where they express their love of the arts today.
We love the Chobopop duo and are so happy they are a part of the fam!

“Ingrid Padilla is a Southern California-based artist currently living in her hometown of San Pedro, California, which is an artsy and unique busy port town full of generations upon generations of families. Ingrid is mainly a self-taught artist creating art since she was very young. Being a part of a family of artists and teachers, she couldn’t help being creatively influenced at an early age. For the past several years, Ingrid has been exploring a mix of abstract art, illustration, and digitally enhanced artwork combinations. Her paint and ink drawings are an extension of what she loves to create with color. She often combines her paint and ink illustrations with digitized layers to create many unusual effects. The unexpected is what she hopes to achieve in her art always…”
We know for a fact that Ingrid isn’t afraid of color. And that’s one of the many reasons we heart her. Her designs are so intricately detailed and full of color and life that your home can’t help but shout with joy!
Thanks for being a part of the DENY Artist Family, Ingrid. We love it!
