Jon Burgerman: Pens are my Friends

For the first time ever Jon Burgerman’s commercial, personal and collaborative works are collected together in one lavish publication. Included amongst the many projects are 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.
