(Think: pleasingly symmetrical framing, sherbet-ready pastel colors, and old-fashioned glamorous decor.) In the subreddit, called “[Accidental Wes Anderson,](https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalWesAnderson/?count=25&after=t3%5F6i653w)” users are submitting their photographs of everything from whimsically-designed museums to deserted beaches and playfully-arranged rooms. As eye candy, the images transport viewers to a world of quirky characters and peeling paint jobs, just as Anderson likes it. The visionary director’s last film, [_The Grand Budapest Hotel_](http://time.com/17897/wes-andersons-the-grand-budapest-hotel-make-that-the-great/), came out in 2014\. He’s currently working on a new movie called _Isle of Dogs_, slated for a 2018 release [according to IMDB. ](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0027572/#director)In the meantime, fans of his distinctive work can go back and rewatch classics like [_The Darjeeling Limited_](http://motto.time.com/4216226/world-travel-movies/item/the-darjeeling-limited/) — or bookmark this subreddit for regular perusal, as it’s being updated daily with new, artful submissions that adhere to his twee aesthetic. In fact, Anderson himself might want to take a peek at these photos for future shooting locations. Here are a few of the most up-voted submissions. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4827008/accidental-wes-anderson/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4827008/accidental-wes-anderson/"},"headline":"Wes Anderson Would Be Jealous of These Real-Life Scenes","datePublished":"2017-06-21T18:47:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:44:44.610Z","description":"Photographers are sharing their best Wes-Anderson-lookalike shots to a subreddit devoted to the twee aesthetic of the popular director.","url":"https://time.com/4827008/accidental-wes-anderson/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","viral","reddit","photography","Wes Anderson"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4827008/accidental-wes-anderson/","name":"Wes Anderson Would Be Jealous of These Real-Life Scenes"}}]}] ```
