Fans of the Gorillaz will be delighted to see a new art book on the prolific UK band. The accurately titled publication sees co-founder, Jamie Hewlett showcase his favorite illustrations alongside a carefully curated list of over 40 guest artists. Gorillaz have announced an official art book with over 40 guest artists teaming up alongside the band’s co-creator Jamie Hewlett. Gorillaz was created by Hewlett and Damon Albarn in 1998. Current members of the virtual band include 2-D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle and Russel Hobbs. The band has so far released seven studio albums, along with three compilation albums and eleven extended plays (EPs). Gorillaz has sold over 25 million records worldwide and are cited in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's "Most Succesful Virtual Band." The band is also working on an animated movie with Netflix that does not yet have a release date.

Ich liebe z.B. auch seine Arbeiten zu Monkey - Journey to the West oder auch sein Tarot-Karten-Set, welche beide im Buch enhalten sind. Spannend finde ich auch die Umsetzung der Pinetrees. Etwas völlig anderes und trotzdem wirklich hübsch anzusehen.

This book reminds me a little of Goldtiger which was a humorous pastiche of 60s spy comic serialisations that would appear syndicated in newspapers. This is another humorous pastiche but I think in both cases the people behind the humour tried too hard. I love what I have seen so far of Song Machine. The Gorillaz have certainly not run out of juice at all but I just feel this doesn't do them justice. It seems like someone of a certain age trying to be funny and missing the mark slightly (as Goldtiger did, I feel. It's that knowing humour of the clever nudge-and-wink brigade). From the legendary Tank Girl to live-action animations with Gorillaz, a Chinese contemporary opera to an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, artist Jamie Hewlett is one of the most energetic figures of contemporary pop culture. When Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn first created the Gorillaz, art was at the forefront of the multimedia project. Now, they are set to turn that vision into something tangible with a brand-new art book on the way. Absolutely agree with you. An artbook showing the evolution of the Gorillaz along with interviews/narrative etc would be great although I guess that might be too mainstream for them.

Since then, Hewlett has continued to collaborate with Albarn on projects including an elaborate staging of the Chinese novel Monkey: Journey to the West by Wu Cheng’en, complete with circus acrobats, Shaolin monks, and Chinese singers. In 2006, he was named Designer of the Year by the Design Museum in London, and in 2009, Hewlett and Albarn won a BAFTA for their animated Monkey sequence for the Beijing Olympic Games. In 2015 The Suggestionists, an exhibition of prints at the Saatchi Gallery in London, demonstrated an exciting new direction in Hewlett’s practice.

It would have been nice to get some annotations or a little history about the art. Some sketches etc would be nice. Hello, and welcome to the Gorillaz Wiki! A community-maintained environment where you can find or share information about everything regarding the virtual band Gorillaz. Before editing, take note of the following: As for the future, Damon Albarn has confirmed that a feature-length Gorillaz film is in the works at Netflix. Ich hatte das Buch letztes Jahr bereits im Juli vorbestellt und konnte es kaum erwarten als es Veröffentlicht wurde. Die Artworks von Jamie sind einfach unglaublich genial. Sein Stil ist so einzigartig. Über die letzten 30 Jahre hat er sich kontinuierlich verbessert, aber seinen Stil erkennt man trotzdem immer wieder. (für mich ist er mein größtes Vorbild in sachen zeichnen!)

For promotion of the book, an accompanying podcast, titled ' The Gorillaz Art Book Podcast', was also released, with each episode featuring an exclusive interview with one of the book's contributors. Look, this is probably more about me than about Gorillaz. Albarn, Hewlett etc are amazingly talented. I am more into the art than the music but they are strong on both fronts. This book just made me reflect on getting old rather than my love of the style. Hey-ho. If you love Hewlett, get his Taschen book. If you have a few quid left over, get this but try to get it cheaply.I have bought so many great art books over the years and I just can't help but feel that this doesn't quite cut it. I guess 'not fitting in' is something Gorillaz is all about but this book is not quite the square peg in the round hole that they may have wanted. Or maybe I'm not. Hmm, I have mixed views on this one. I love Hewlett's style and the Taschen book is beautiful. This is nicely priced and if you are a die-hard Gorillaz fan, it's probably worth a look.
