Kate questions Jamie on the conception of the Gorillaz Art Book, how artists can come together in an isolated world and what is next for the band. 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: 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).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.

The art from J.C. Hewlett looks as good and timeless as ever. Half the book is a gallery of Gorillaz artworks from the last 20 years. 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.Featuring brand new artwork by Jamie Hewlett and a host of guest contributions from friends and admirers of the band 💫 Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

They discuss why Vanessa resonates with Noodle and delve into what lies in the shadows of her gritty, noir sequential artwork. 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.

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. Featuring brand-new artwork by Jamie Hewlett, who has invited more than 40 creators to offer new interpretations of 2D, Murdoc Niccals, Noodle, and Russel Hobbs in one expansive volume of original artwork.

As for the future, Damon Albarn has confirmed that a feature-length Gorillaz film is in the works at Netflix. The Gorillaz: Art Book (Hardcover) by Lonnie Nadler published by Z2 Comics @ ForbiddenPlanet.com - UK and Worldwide Cult Entertainment Megastore This book is not a full retrospect on the story of Gorillaz. It does not cover the very obviously rich history of Gorillaz, their albums and fans. That definitely deserves a book on its own. Cowboyz Bebop Days Inspired By Gorillaz Band Vintage T-Shirt, Gorillaz Band Shirt, For Gorillaz Band Shirt, Love Gorillaz Band Gorillaz have announced an official art book with over 40 guest artists teaming up alongside the band’s co-creator Jamie Hewlett.

Gorillaz - G Sides - Space Monkeyz -Plastic Beach - The Fall - Humanz - The Now Now - Cassette TapeIt's weird looking at something that is trying to be edgy but that also knows that young kids probably ignore Gorillaz (I hope not, it's their loss) but also that its target demographic are not as edgy as they used to be. Picasso said “Good artists borrow but great artists steal”. Here, Ruff Mercy enlightens Kate on how his life-long love for hip-hop impacted his approach to sampling other artists’ work.
