Gorillaz RFH???, by gm on Mar 24, 2006 16:56:58 GMT 1, Just had a message from a mate saying that Jamie H is down at the Design museum and will be putting a load of Gorillaz stuff on the side of the Royal Festival Hall tonight! 
I'll toddle past on my way home tonight and see if I can spot anything.
Unfortunately I only have my phone camera today, so if anything IS going on you'll only get it in grainy Nokiavision.

I'm actually going nowhere near the design museum, but was gonna have a look at the RFH, cos I only have to walk one train station out of my way to get there
But if there's anything worth saying afterwards I'll say it where you said to say it.

The animation behind the videos of Gorillaz is to be celebrated in London tomorrow, when a selection are beamed onto a giant landmark in the city.
Four of the band's promos will be screened onto the side of the National Theatre in the UK capital on Friday evening.
The screening is part of this weekend's Inside Out Festival in London, which will see a host of activities usually confined to the indoors taking place on the South Bank.
"Feel Good Inc", "El Manana", "Dare" and "Dirty Harry" have been chosen for the screening, which takes place between 7.15pm and 8.15pm.
The broadcast is also intended to celebrate the nomination of Jamie Hewlett - the visual force behind Damon Albarn's animated group - as Designer Of The Year.

Gorillaz RFH???, by gm on Mar 24, 2006 17:26:13 GMT 1, Ack, bugger! I'm not staying at work that late just so I can watch the videos in extra bigsize.
And that design museum website tells me it's under construction and to check back soon, so I can't cast me vote

Gorillaz artist wins design award
Gorillaz was created as a swipe at manufactured bands
The cartoonist behind animated band Gorillaz has won the prestigious Designer of the Year award.
Jamie Hewlett, who co-created the group with Blur frontman Damon Albarn, was given the ยฃ25,000 prize by London's Design Museum.
He beat competition including furniture designer Tom Dixon and the team behind the Guardian newspaper's redesign.
Hewlett was awarded for creating the Gorillaz website, animations, "live" performances and "personal mythology".
The jury said his work defined "the shape of things to come".
"It harnesses culture through design. It's fresh and original and captures the mood of the moment."
Success story
Gorillaz were conceived in 1999 as a reaction to manufactured pop bands.
Their latest album, Demon Days, was the UK's fifth best-selling album of 2005.
Earlier this year, they played a sell-out week of concerts in Manchester and New York, and duetted with Madonna at the Grammy Awards.

In concert, 3D animations of the cartoon characters are projected on stage while the real musicians remain in the shadows.
Hewlett creates the animations, graphics and website art for the virtual group from his West London design company Zombie Flesh Eaters.
The Designer of the Year award was established in 2003 to reward "the UK designer that made the biggest contribution to design in the past year".
The winner is chosen by a five-way vote. The four members of the jury each choose their favourite nominee, with the remaining vote decided by a public poll.
Previous winners include Apple's iMac designer Jonathan Ive and digital artist Daniel Brown.
This year's nominees, who also include Architecture for Humanity, have their work exhibited at the Design Museum until 18 June.
