Desde la legendaria serie de cómic Tank Girl hasta las animaciones de la banda musical virtual Gorillaz, pasando por incursiones en la ópera contemporánea china y una exposición en la Saatchi Gallery de Londres, el artista, compositor y diseñador Jamie Hewlett es una de las figuras más prolíficas y eruditas de la cultura pop contemporánea. Hewlett's Absolut London web profile also revealed that along with Chuck Jones, American filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and American author Hunter S. Albarn would work on the music, while Hewlett would come up with character designs, and both came up with ideas for the members of the band.After escaping from asylum, Tank Girl goes on the road with Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda, solves a mystery or two and finds time to join Booga's Treehouse Club. Hewlett drew a Tank Girl mini-series for the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics written by Peter Milligan. This special edition celebrating TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary updates Hewlett’s first major monograph with around 30 brand new pieces. Broadcast on BBC Three back in 2008, the show is based on Hewlett’s Get The Freebies comic from the ’90s.

Hewlett and Albarn created the animation sequence the BBC used to introduce coverage of the Beijing 2008 Olympics. By 1992, Hewlett had become a major creator in the comics industry, and one of the few to break into mainstream media. Desde entonces, Hewlett ha seguido colaborando con Albarn en proyectos como la exquisita y elaborada puesta en escena de la novela china Monkey: Journey to the West de Wu Cheng’en, donde no faltan acróbatas de circo, monjes shaolín y cantantes chinos.Gorillaz han encabezado listas de éxitos, girado y recorrido todo el mundo, de San Diego a Siria, y cosechado cifras millonarias de escucha en streaming y ventas de discos a lo largo del camino.

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. Tank Girl was optioned to be made into a film by MGM after being considered by, among others, Steven Spielberg.Gorillaz stürmten weltweit die Hitlisten, tourten um den Globus, von San Diego bis Syrien, und verzeichneten Hunderte von Millionen Streams und Plattenverkäufe. Hewlett has mentioned that he is largely influenced by the works of American animator Chuck Jones of Looney Tunes, and cites the works of British comic book artists Ronald Searle and Mike McMahon as influences on his artwork.
