Jamie Hewlett: Works from the Last 25 Years

This book has incredible illustrations that inspire you as an artist. The book arrived in perfect condition.

The first time I saw Jamie's work was in that one Gorillaz music video with Del. I liked the look of it, but never thought too much of it. It was a cool idea, the cartoon characters, but I pretty much left it at that.It wasn't until I saw a review of this book online that I really saw Jamie for the artist that he is. This book has so much in it, but the element that tipped the scales for me and got me to spring for this book was the tree drawings. It's amazing how you can see an artists "hand" in much of the minutia of what they create, even the bark patterns in trees.Go ahead and get this book. Leave it out for others to enjoy, too. The images range all over the place, and they are really well imagined and created.

I have not gone through it all but from appearances alone, it's beautiful. The pics are vibrant and gorgeous. Not much wording. Artwork is abundant. It's a hefty book and although I would prefer for it to be larger in height I think it suits the volume of pages because anything more would be too difficult to hold. Nothing something you can carry around, it's great for displaying and viewing. There is a larger option and that book I believe is massive so if you want to see the artwork in a larger format I'd go with that one and the higher price. This one is affordable and still lovely. I am not a fan of the french flap that goes over the pages from the opening. It gets in the way a lot when I am trying to sift through the book. That's a real annoyance but it is nothing that makes me regret my purchase. Delivery was good. We had a snow event in Texas that caused an overall delay in everything so instead of my prime purchase arriving the next day or two days later it took a week which was fine because Prime was transparent about that.

Very cool art

Llegó super rapido, muy buena calidad y en perfecto estado. Mi esposo quedo fascinado con el regalo. Muchas gracias!

I bought the Multilingual Edition of the book for my brother since we're both Gorillaz fans and we love the artwork. That edition wasn't so much a book as it was a TOME. It was quite impressive.When I saw the 40th Anniversary Edition and it came with even more artwork, I knew I had to get a copy for myself. The book is high quality like the previous edition, but is far more compact. I don't know which size I prefer, to be honest. With this smaller size, I'd be more inclined to look through it since it takes up less desk-space, but the Tome's size makes it far more impressive, especially as a coffee table book.The 40th Edition book is definitely 5-star worthy, but keep in mind it's also the Compact Edition. Want the book to be more like most art books? Try to get your hands on the Multilingual Edition.The compact edition's measurements are 9x6.5 inches.After rereading my review, it looks like I'm talking about something other than art books lol.

it was interesting to see jamie’s works through the years

Tons of amazing art in this book, and a few insightful text pieces. Worth every penny.
