Here’s the final product of my Gorillaz magazine project! Thank you to the person who asked the 11th question! (Mainly because you were the only person you asked and rest of the questions I had to write myself) Also, I’m sorry I don’t have your name up because I couldn’t seem to find your account. Sadly, however, something went wrong with the png file so I wasn’t able to show a clearer digital image of the entire thing so that’s why the quality is so shitty here. I hope you enjoy it! 😊👍

Quick question.

Ya’ll remember this post where I talked about how I was making a magazine concept for my graphic design class? This one? 👇

So since this project has deal with making several pages as well. I think it would be cool if the article were to ask Ace some questions! We haven’t heard Ace speak during his time Gorillaz so let’s hear him speak now. 

But you know what would be really cool?? 

If you guys could ask him yourselves. 👀 

I feel that it would the article sound more genuine this way. So send me your questions for him and I will select the ones that I feel will be the most interesting for the article. Also quick side note, this article is based on an AU where 2D and Ace have both quit their jobs to create a new band called “The Rejects.” Keep that in mind. 

SO ASK AWAY PEOPLE ❣️

“The Rejects” 

I had a project in my graphic design class where we had to draw art that was based on a graphic designer/artist that inspired us. I decided to make a Gorillaz magazine cover. So here’s part of it. I’ll post the entire thing soon. 💞There’s also a bit of story behind this but I won’t spoil any details. 

Hey, here’s a neat thought.

What if in the new Gorillaz TV show (or comic book, either one is fine), 2D is fed up with Murdoc’s “tranzformation” B.S— believing his new mood is really fishy, because he’s not used to such kind behavior from him. (Not to mention Mudz has tricked him before.) So in response, he leaves home to America. 

I mean it would explain this photo from Jamie’s Instagram in 2017. 

I also think someone on there asked him where 2D was going and Hewlett did answer saying “He’s leaving home.” But I looked through it and I think he deleted the response or— for all I know— it was fake and he didn’t actually say that. 🤔 

But THEN I got to thinking about that poster of The Rejects. Y’know, the one with Cyborg Noodle and that big Frankenstein looking guy? What if, in spite of Murdoc, 2D wanted to get them off the ground. I mean, just by the poster at Demon Dayz ALONE, it doesn’t look like they’re doing so good with getting gigs. 

And hell. Since Jamie did say in the interview at Demon Dayz that he’d want to use Ace again in the future, so who’s to say we won’t see Ace either? I dunno. I think it’d be pretty cool.

My favourite britpop fun facts and incidents (gonna be edited in the future)

1. Jarvis Cocker falling out of the window pretending to be Spiderman

2. Radiohead showing No Surprises to Alex James and Alex being concerned about Thom's mental well being

3. Damon Albarn being a sugar daddy for his bandmates

4. whatever that was

5. Robert Smith and Morrissey beef

6. I do not like the cure~

7. Graham Cheryl interview by Brandy Wine

8. Liam Gallagher being chronically online

9. Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's enemies to best friends trope (because Damon was jealous of Graham) (also Damon saying in a interview that he was jealous of Jamie's wife) (Damon's a jelly bean)

10. Damon was the annoying kid at school

im almost certainly sure that Damon and Jamie based Noodle at least a little bit on Björk, i mean that photo of Björk is so Noodle coded, especially that Damon knew her

❗EYE STRAIN❗

Don't do drugs, kids.
