Layered Butter: Wes Anderson

"Quote"

“Quote goes here.”

Symmetry, sentiment, and singular storytelling.

Wes Anderson’s films are as instantly recognizable as they are emotionally resonant. This volume is a curated exploration of his meticulous world-building, idiosyncratic characters, and vintage-tinged aesthetics. Featuring artwork from global illustrators and essays that dissect Anderson’s control over color, tone, and emotional detachment, this issue is a visual and narrative delight. We chose Anderson because his work bridges design and storytelling in a way that’s tailor-made for art book celebration.

“During our travels, I started seeing places that looked like they could be plucked from a Wes Anderson film, but they were real places with intriguing, and many times unexpected, stories behind them, so I started to compile them.

— Interview with Accidentally Wes Anderson

“My goal with these puppets in particular was to capture the spirit of the characters rather than imitate a literal copy. I wanted to see a different scene for Ash and Kristofferson.

— Interview with Travesuras

“The best thing about being an artist is once you’ve solved all the problems of planning, your job is to get lost in the painting.”

— Interview with Sam Gilbey
