Jamie Hewlett

Jamie Hewlett is one of those visual artists whose style I'd recognize instantly. Tank Girl, co-created with Alan Martin, already marked him as a punky, irreverent talent, but it's Gorillaz that cemented him for me. Building a whole virtual band's identity alongside Damon Albarn was a genuinely original idea, and the fact that the cartoon characters became as iconic as the music is entirely down to his design sense. Out of Horsham, he turned illustration into something that crossed into pop culture at the highest level. I see him as proof that a comics artist can shape mainstream music's look as powerfully as any musician shapes its sound.
