Keynote Speaker
How I stopped designing like a designer and stepped into the shoes of a 19th century sign-painter, in a hurry, in the rain.
Join Annie Atkins, renowned graphic artist for films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel and Indiana Jones, on this whirlwind tour through the highs and lows of designing in character.
Keynote speaker Annie Atkins will be available to sign her books, Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps: Designing Graphic Props for Filmmaking and the soon-to-be-released Letters from the North Pole.
Limited copies will be available in the Dry Goods store for purchase.
The books are also available for preorder during registration for those who wish to guarantee their copies. Preordered books can be picked up at Wayzgoose registration.
Annie Atkins
Based in Dublin, Ireland, Annie is best known for her career as a graphic artist in the film industry, having designed for many Oscar-nominated-and-winning movies, such as Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, and French Dispatch, as well as Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies and West Side Story, and classic children’s films such as the latest Chicken Run and Indiana Jones movies. Her first book, Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps, prompted Jeff Goldblum to write that “Annie makes the unreal seem hyperreal, and the real more supremely alive and utterly magical”. Her next book, Letters from the North Pole, is a children’s picture book and will be published by Magic Cat in October 2024.
