Damon Albarn's and Jamie Hewlett's BBC Olympics Monkey

For BBC Sport Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett have produced a two minut animated sequence, based on the classical Chinese novel, "Journey to the West". You can see the video here. I saw it on TV last night, without knowing what it was for, and was immediately hooked in: it has that Hewlett visual style with a soundtrack that is traditional Chinese music spliced with the Gorillaz.

There's loads of interesting facts about the piece here. And, if you want some more fun you can download a Desktop Monkey, an Adobe Air powered Monkey fronted Olympics news service.

Or if you want Monkey artwork on your phone, go here.

Anyone old enough will probably remember the live-action TV series of the story, Monkey Magic!
