When the Girlfriend's Away Always Feed the Cat

I love Jamie Hewlett and his art has been a great source of inspiration to me. I was thinking about buying som Tank Girl Books via Amazon, but the delivery is often double the prize of the actual product, which is a bit annoying. Then again, yesterday I found The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in a bookstore, and it seems to me the prize must have been lost in translation, coz the back of the book said £6 but when I checked the bookstore prize it was double that! But, it's not like £12 is a lot for a great book like The Hitchhiker's Guide (and it's certainly worth it just for the pictures of Martin Freeman o.ô) it's just sort of off-putting when you know the rest of the world only pays half of what you do for the same damned book.

Anyhow, I really wanted to get Get the Freebies, but apparantely the only available edition is in Spanish, which is a bit of a letdown since I know f*ck all when it comes to Spanish. I might try translating it myself using translate.google.com, but I tried that once with a Sky Doll book in french, and it's a real pain in the arse. The artwork is still effing brilliant though.

My computer's up an running again and that means I'll soon be posting some of the sketches I've been talking about. That's the reason this post is about Mr. Hewlett really, coz most of the sketches are heavily influenced by his style. Hopefully he won't sue.


Anyhow, for now, enjoy this link to Cocker's Luck by Hewlett and Hardy:
