This man got me into illustrating, i then moved to doing paintings. This year i sold my first painting for $500. Thank you Jamie for being such a wonderful person and inspiring me.

no one gonna talk about how hot he is

Jamie is my fricken hero.

This is EXACTLY how I feel. God, this man is unbelievable. He describes it perfectly.

I amire his confident modesty.

He has a very soothing voice, soft, thoughtful, like light rain fall a faint thunderstorm.

Jamie Hewlett is one of my top most inspiring people that I personally look up too. In which I usually don't look up to so many but each of whom I see them and their work and how far they have gone. It just hits me you know? The first time I saw Gorillaz which honestly was just recently, I fell in love with the artwork first. The character designs and the animation. It gave me an eye orgasm. I just instantly fell in love with the artwork and that is something I have also heard from other people who enjoy Animation. Hopefully I grow up and become just what all my heroes have become. I want to be a animator, a sort of story teller a storyboard artist. I want to make my own ideas or interpret other people's ideas into my line of work. Hopefully I do get my dream but, either way. Jamie is all inspiring and perfect no matter how many flaws he may have. He is my hero and I shall wait and see what else he comes up with in the near future.

As an artist, I can really understand where he's coming from and relate to him, he's so great

i love his quote about the ego. thats some philosophical shit

This deserves all of the views

So much life and expression in his work and what a genuine person. Hats off!

Awesome stuff from one of the most inspiring artist of our days! Humble and yet astonishing!

This man is my hero, and so modest. If I could have half the talent he has, I'd be content I think.

I cherish everything this man has made for public consumption and look forward to enjoying whatever he creates next. Great video.

this is easily one of the best videos i've seen on youtube in a long time. a lot of us come to youtube to be entertained for however long it may be. we forget that there's things on this site we would never see on tv or otherwise. so thanks for this.

the last sentence and half of this interview hits such a strong home note with me especially within the last few days. I hope everyone who watches this has the strength and will to grow... because it surely isn't easy.

Jamie you are my biggest inspiration!

I totally agree with everything he's saying! As someone who's aspiring to go to arts college, it's strangely comforting to hear that even someone who's drawings I consider perfect is never content with his results, that somehow makes me feel less alone.

Has to be some nerd giving it a thumbs down just for the sake of it... good old youtube!

This man is such an inspiration to me as an artist, he's everything that i want to be professionally.

My parents don't want me to be an animator or artist yet I still look up to Mr. Hewlett and admire him so much >.

i love this man. seriously

My hero

Love Jamie! He's so awesome

He's definitely my inspiration since I met him in stylo not long ago but I really admire the way he animates, I'm studying animation thanks to his work. I'll try to be as good as him and someday meet him and even work with him, that's my goal in life.

This is great. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Wish there was more but short and sweet will have to do.

Inspiration at its finest.

I love him, he inspires me to keep making art.

inspiration, a mean in life, an artist!!

Omg I can relate so much to what he is saying! Jamie you have been such an inspiration to me more than most artist I like, your layed back and you do your own thing which I love. Gorillaz is most inspiring to me and you make me wanna pick up a pencil and open up my sketchbook and just get lost. :D

Indeed!, he certainly was a main source of inspiration in my younger years Still a bit of his influence in my style.

I'm never content, maybe I never will be. But i secretly know that that is what makes you Grow.

I guess I like older men now.

This is going to be huge!

this almost perfectly sums up how i feel about my art at the moment.

I agree. He's up there with Notch as far as quirky creative rich people who don't seem to be assholes. This vid needs to be seen by every artist. I feel so inspired. I mean, here he is, he's an amazing artist yet he feels about his art and talent the same way I feel about mine. If he feels tat way, I don't have to feel so bad about myself, now, do i?

This is so cool. Love it! ^_^

1:36 SWOO N💕💕💕

Oh god Jamie is important

This is really amazing he is such an inspiration to me I really really really love his art it’s just beautiful I have 2 of his works and I’m so prows to have them...one of them is really signed. If you don’t like the look of his art you should just have a look at some of the Gorillaz music videos (I would look at the music video for the song called:Clint Eastwood cause it fucking awesome) I love Jamie’s work and he should carry on until he dies

not to be nsfw but jamie is beautiful :(

I somehow can´t focus with his lips moving all the time... or his eyes... even his words don´t allow me to concentrate.

I know his sister 😆

He looks like the joker

the only thing i don't liek is his new haircut...
