Wally Koval's ACCIDENTALLY WES ANDERSON has been featured in The New York Times Design section, online and in print. They highlight the AWA online community of over one million "Adventurers" and their photographers' commitment to "finding visual order amid global chaos" in "[s]teeples, lighthouses, theaters, wedding-cake hotels, outdated technology and, most predictably, the color pink, so rarely seen in typical architectural discourse."

Voracious will publish ACCIDENTALLY WES ANDERSON on October 20, 2020.
