i’m still insanely jealous of wes anderson
Sigh. Oh Wes, you’re a creative genius with insane attention to detail… and that is why I love you.
In Wes Anderson’s latest film, Moonrise Kingdom, one of the main characters {Suzy}, loves books… and stole a half a dozen of them from the library. Of course, what Wes Anderson film would be complete without every single little thing being designed/thought about… so yes, here are the covers of Suzy’s books that he commissioned six illustrators to design {Oh, and if the cover designs weren’t enough, he also created a short film and animations to go along with each of them. Swoon!}
That last screengrab is my favorite one in the bunch! ♥
{There is a really good article, here, that gives a bunch of background on this part of Moonrise Kingdom.}
I wish these were real books – I’d read them in an instant! I’m swooning over here too 🙂
This is too awesome for words. Gah.
“gah” is the perfect word actually! ; )
i adore wes anderson’s attention to detail and creativity!!!! can’t wait to see this film… and now i too wish these books were real!!!
Yes, his attention to detail is exceptional. I adore any filmmaker who takes the time to really make something special for his/her viewers. Someone who is so passionate about what they are doing that every little tiny detail is a decision actively made.
Swoon…
absolutely! his work is so inspiring.
