Art & Design. Jamie Hewlett: Form collides with function in London. Jamie Hewlett, the artist known for his work with the Gorillaz has supremely tagged a train in promotion of Monkey: Journey to the West. We spotted this fresh news on Cool Hunting.

As they report: "This is how public transport should be done. Unveiled Monday and traveling back and forth between London and Manchester, this tricked-out locomotive from Gorillaz artist, Jamie Hewlett, is to promote the forthcoming circus/opera he's involved with called Monkey: Journey To The West. It's based on an ancient Chinese legend and the music has been composed by Hewlett's partner in the cartoon band, Damon Albarn. The show kicks off this year's Manchester International Festival which runs 28 June - 15 July 2007."
