New Burgerman Tome

As he is a regular visitor to Dublin, chances are you might have seen Jon Burgerman do one of his ‘famous’ live doodling sessions or maybe heard him speak at a SweetTalk event, perhaps when purchasing your materials in O’Sullivans Graphics you might have noticed his drawings on your paper bag? Basically he is bleedin’ everywhere! If he wasnt such a nice guy it would be quite easy to hate him with a passion. Well now he has an amazing new book out designed by Dublin’s own Unthink and published by IDN.

Here come the blurb…

For the first time ever Jon Burgerman’s commercial, personal and collaborative works are collected together in one lavish publication. Jon Burgerman: Pens are My Friends contains many projects such as toys, clothing, exhibitions, murals, customizations, sketchbooks and a sick bag. Accompanying the hundreds of pages of brain melting doodles, drawings, characters and colours are essays by the Pictoplasma team and editor of Modart Magazine, insights into Jon’s working process and, of course, photos of salads.

About Jon Burgerman Though known for his colourful work in drawing and print, animation and toy design, Jon Burgerman retains a British sense of self-deprecation, humour and anxiety in his aesthetic. He regularly exhibits and publishes in venues around the globe, while making sure his pop-influenced characters find their way onto bags, books, mobile phones, lunch boxes, and Frisbees, to name a few.
