JAMIE HEWLETT - ART FRAGMENT

Shipping Costs: UK-£12.50, USA-£20, Europe-£20, Far East-£20. Jamie Hewlett's talents became apparent early in life. As a student in the 1980s his art was spotted by newly launched Deadline magazine and he was asked to contribute some cartoons. Of these Tank Girl went on to become phenomenally successful, spawning dedicated comics, books and even a film adaptation. While sharing a flat with Blur singer Damon Albarn the pair hit upon the idea of a cartoon band, Gorillaz. In May 2006 Jamie was named named Designer of the Year. The chair of the jury, Sir Christopher Frayling, summed up his achievements perfectly saying, "Jamie Hewlett has not only created a personal mythology with the virtual band Gorillaz, he has also created designs for the direction in which technology and culture are going, the shape of things to come." This authentic fragment, which even in doodles could only be by one hand, is from a series of only 45 original art cards made by Hewlett between 1988 and 1995.
