Annie Wu

Born in 1988. Escaped the sunny clutches of central Florida to roam the slightly more grey city of Baltimore. Graduated magna cum laude from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in Illustration (2010).

Spends days drawing, writing, or agonizing over past awkward social interactions that no one else remembers. Needs to find a less time-consuming way to render hair (but at least it looks nice). Would like to make things for your eyeballs.

If there is a designer and illustrator out there whose Design Practice I would like to emulate it's Annie Wu.








Work has been recognized by Spectrum 17, the Society of Illustrators 2009 Student Competition, American Illustration TRIBUTE, and Adult Swim for a few weird seconds. Clients include DC Comics, ELLE Magazine, Lacrosse Magazine, Coca-Cola Brazil and others.

Annie Wu!

Annie Wu redesigned the Justice League for Warren Ellis’ No Future Remake/Remodel: Malcolm McLaren’s JUSTICE LEAGUE challenge, whereas the prompt is to simply re-envision the Justice League as the cast of a film by Malcolm McLaren (circa 1977).

“There are a few bits I especially enjoy, like Wonder Woman’s stockings and Batman’s t-shirt.” - Annie Wu

The Flash (the drummer) - I really love the lightning bolt on the lapel of his long red trenchcoat… I really want to print a lightning bolt on a red blazer now.

Superman (the guitarist) - I actually like how simplistic this is - the hints of red in his outfit are enough to get the point across, plus you can see the subtle “S” scar across his chest.

Wonder Woman (the lead singer) - Words cannot express how awesome she looks. Those stockings, that dress, the golden lasso/microphone - Gaga approves.

Batman (the bassist) - On a side note, I hope he plays the bass with tiny Batarang-shaped picks.

Aquaman (Groupie?) - I love his glovelets. Except when he’s getting puke all over them.

Needless to say, I would totally see this film.
