Musician Damon Albarn and comic artist Jamie Hewlett met in 1990 when the guitarist Graham Coxon , a fan of Hewlett’s work, asked him to interview Blur , which Albarn and Coxon had recently formed. The interview was published in Deadline , home of Hewlett’s comic strip Tank Girl . Hewlett initially thought Albarn was “arsey, a wanker”. Though Hewlett became acquaintances with the band, he and Albarn often clashed, especially after Hewlett began seeing Coxon’s former girlfriend, Jane Oliver. Despite this, Albarn and Hewlett started sharing a flat on Westbourne Grove in London in 1997. Hewlett had recently broken up with Oliver and Albarn was at the end of his highly publicised relationship with Justine Frischmann of Elastica .
