The early run: Gorillaz and Demon Days
The story starts with the self-titled Gorillaz (2001), the cartoon band's scruffy, graffiti-edged introduction, and peaks early with Demon Days (2005), whose grid of four faces in the dark became one of the most recognisable covers of the 2000s. Hung side by side, the two mark the moment the project went from novelty to phenomenon. They are the prints most fans reach for first, and at large sizes Hewlett's linework stays crisp and bold — the whole point of art drawn rather than shot. Demon Days in particular rewards an A2 or A1: the four faces emerging from black have the graphic punch of a film poster, and on a matte print the deep shadows stay deep instead of greying out.
