Jamie Hewlett

"I haven't reached the point where I think I'm good at [being an artist]. That's the drive. I know that it's in me to be really good at it, and i think Ive come close a few times... But i don't usually look at things I've completed and feel content. Which then mean the next thing you start you go right into it with that attitude that this time i'm going to get it right."

Jamie Hewlett has held the most inspiration over me by far as an artist. I was captivated by his character designs for Gorillaz and his work for Tank Girl. If it weren't for Hewlett, I dont think I would have such a strong desire to create characters of my own, and to study art. This quote is so great because to hear from my favorite illustrator- that he thinks his work isn't perfect gives me a whole new respect for him. I'm at a point in my work when i am seeing of need for improvement, and to hear my idol share that sentiment makes me confident that everything will keep getting better.

    Never thought I'd hear one of the artists who has already ready "made it", admit that they aren't perfect. Hewlett has an edginess that is distinct and that other artists don't really have. Awesome. And omg I love the kitties :)
