Jamie Hewlett: 45th Ed.

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.

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.

Chimba de artbook, buen material, la portada es dura y el papel tiene un acabado glossy que resalta los dibujos, el arte es hermoso 10/10

It’s great 🙂

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 got this as a birthday gift for my husband who loves all things Gorillaz and Jamie Howlett. He was really happy with it!

It's great, the paper quality is awesome and pictures don't make justice for the images themselves. My only gripe with the book is that the end paper is sewn together with a bookmark, and that also works as a sleeve for the pages. In concept is a good idea but when you move further on the reading it makes the experience clumsy as the bookmark and sleeve folds and it kinda ruins the aesthetic for the book. All and all: it's a great book, it delivers as it's supposed to

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

Sono diventato fan di Jamie Hewlett grazie al lavoro svolto per i Gorillaz (di cui c'è un capitolo dedicato all'interno del libro). Grazie a questo libro mi sono appassionato ancora di più a Hewlett e al suo stile, e non solo ho scoperto il resto delle sue opere, ma anche le sue varie influenze. Surreale l'intervista messa come introduzione tra Hewlett, sua moglie Emma de Caunes e Jean Baptiste-Mondino, leggere per credere. Ottima raccolta d'arte, grazie alla quale mi sono arricchito molto culturalmente.

I bought this book to get more gorillaz content and really enjoyed seeing other of Jamie’s work I’d never seen, or was aware he worked on. Would recommend

Il à passer un bon anniversaire 🎁

Amazing artwork collected in this book. A true treasure.

I like the art in this book of Jamie Hewlett
