Football Wall Art & Decor - The Blitz Collection

Announcing the Blitz Collection!  Color is king, in this new series for the football enthusiast.  I wanted to create some pieces that wandered out of the traditional football color palette and introduced more color.  Featuring varied colors of football balls and some colorful accessories, these pieces would be a great add to a more modern home and yet, with the rustic leanings, they would also be terrific in a farmhouse or more vintage styled space.

In this boys nursery design board, I've combined my new black and white Blitz Football Scoreboard with what's trending for 2020/21 and that is big bold gingham.  Combining it with a classic navy and wood tones, the room has sophistication and playfulness thanks to the pop of pattern and text.  The scoreboard wall art is available in archival paper prints and as a stretched canvas of various sizes.

The collection also includes some new pennants we are offering.  I'm excited to make these available using our new print on fabric system.  We can now print custom colors on our felt.

The See the Win motivational quote is available in print and on canvas.

The vintage look Black and White Scoreboard is available in print and on canvas.

The two football scoreboards design, multi colored football art, See the Win imagery and the varsity stripe pennant are available in the Blitz Collectioin.

To make your football decor game an allstar one, you can also find my coordinating fabrics available in my Spoonflower shop.  They have a wide array of fabrics and even finished goods.

Blanket Forts and Toilet Paper Ghosts - Rosenberry Rooms Shares my Story

Top children's retailer, Rosenberry Rooms recently interviewed me for their Very Rosenberry Blog.  The owner Susie Fougerousse had some fun and interesting questions to pose.  I enjoyed having the chance to share some behind the scenes stories and a little backstory on how my path as a children's designer began.

Boy's Sports Room Inspiration

Sports decor is a request that I get frequently for custom boy's rooms.  It's the combination of classic styling, longevity that goes from toddler to teen that makes it popular with both kids and parents.  As part of my ongoing quest as an artist and designer to bring new and unique offerings to the juvenile market I'm launching my latest art series.  The new football, baseball and soccer pieces revisit the genre with a contemporary style combined with classic and nostalgic accents.  Available in canvas reproductions in 14 x 14 inch and 30 x 30 inch dimensions.  As of this writing, the new additions are being added to the offerings of popular children's room boutiques, internet and catalog companies worldwide that carry my art line, as well as our online boutique.

I thought it might be fun to offer an inspiration guide showing a way that my new wall art can easily be combined with some of the products available through popular retailers.

1) 100 Series Art by Aaron Christensen

2) Wire Crate Storage - Pottery Barn Teen

What's old is new and what's new is hot!

What's old is new and what's new (meaning old) is hot, not that new (as new) is not, uhm.....we'll something like that....

Meaning, there's been a resurgence in interest of all things old, especially those of an industrial and pre-industrial era to expand back further than the recent revisit to mid-century. When companies like CB2, Restoration Hardware and Anthropology are looking backwards for design ideas and even offering vintage one of a kinds, that's something to take note of. Have you seen the recent Pottery Barn catalogs and in-store offerings? They're taking us back, way back to pre-industrial era with rustic pottery and rough hewn pieces.

Obviously, as an artist who enjoys vintage inspiration in his modernized pieces, I'm excited to see the trend grow.

In the realm of children's room design, I've always been a bit of a retro kinda guy. I like to procure vintage pieces or have reproductions and one of a kinds made by through my studio, to incorporate into our room designs. A vintage piece adds character and provides a sense of longevity or timelessness to the room.

Instead of a slick ultra bright race car, this client chose for us to create a

room with a sense of heritage and time worn charm. Our custom twin sized truck bed, although new, looked like it had been parked for 50 years.

My Speedway Art is available as reproductions and prints

Our Speed Demon room featured vintage objects combined with "new" creations we made

in the studio. I used my art as a visual replacement of a headboard.

The Max Transit wall art collection

http://www.embellishmentsstudio.com/store/c77/TRANSPORTATION_%26_RACING.html

Max Transit Art Collection is available as individual reproductions in many sizes and as a full collage containing all nine.

My latest art release entitled "Max Transit" does a bit of a switch a roo. Instead of reaching the vintage stage via texture I chose to go for a more graphic approach. With its gears, maps and instruments it has an industrial feel but done in a modern way. These pieces can bridge the gap between the slick modern furniture you see in stores today and yet allow the homeowner to bring in a vintage look.

Here, I've provided you with 3 vignettes showing how my work could be incorporated into a boy's transportation room that utilizes vintage industrial looks combined with a modern aesthetic. I'm quite fond of raw, unpainted metals like aluminum, galvanized, chrome and zinc plating. If you stick to the white metals you can mix and match freely. If you prefer the golden metals you can tone them down by using brown waxed shoe polish as you would a traditional wax polish. Be sure to let the piece dry before handling.

Option A utilizes one of a kind pieces, products from higher end retailers 1stDibs, Rejuvenation Lighting, Serena and Lily, Room and Board and a few off the shelf items.

Option B draws it's vocabulary of items from traditional retail environments like Rosenberry Rooms, Land of Nod, Lowes, Urban Outfitters and Caden Lane with some one of a kinds.

Option C incorporates similar looks for less with help from Target, Toys R us and Ikea.

The Max Transit collection is part of my spring introduction and is available through fine retailers and independent boutiques. Email me if you need assistance with finding a retailer or if you are interested in purchasing them directly from Embellishments.

Also available in a personalized growth chart.

Great resource for vintage industrial are Ebay, Etsy, 1stDibs.com, Dog dish lights, Rejuvenation and even Craigslist. Here in Portland, I love to browse a material handling company store. They often pass on used equipment such as carts, dollies, work benches and more. If you have a great site to pass on please leave it in the comments for others to browse.

Enjoy!
