Posse Spotting: Depot for Creative Reuse
We love the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse. We think the Posse did good on this one, as Jon is really committed to reusing materials too.
The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse is an ecological treasure trove of art & craft materials, educational supplies, vintage furniture, home décor, paper goods, fabric, and much more. Founded in 1979 by two Oakland public school teachers, the Depot promotes solid waste diversion and resource conservation through the Depot store and environmental education programs.
In early Fall, we found the above Posse sticker in the company of Rock Hudson, a shout out to heavy metal and a merry assortment of sliced tomato and pepper magnets. When we returned this week, Jon had been joined by Alfred E. Neuman, Dead Eyes, the alphabet and some really GOOD NEWS. I got this picture, and Greta got 5 vintage patterns, 1 broken candle, the tiniest bath tub you ever did see and a clear Christmas ornament, all for $1.81. If you’re in the Temescal neighborhood of Oakland, CA, they’ve got a ton of new hardcover Upper Playground art books for only $2.50 each.
Paralysis of Choice Screenprints
Three prints from Jon’s Paralysis of Choice solo show at Elektrik Sheep in Newcastle have made their way to Burgerplex. The black & white I Am In Paralysis print is a digital print with vegetable inks on recycled paper. It’s an edition of 50 prints, signed by Jon, measuring A2 / 42 x 59.4cm / 16.5 x 23.4″ for £40. Over Stimulated (Pink) is a three-color hand-pulled screenprint. It’s an edition of 75 prints, signed by Jon, measuring 35 x 50cm / 13.8×19.7″ for £45. Over Stimulated (Blue) can be seen in progress in the photos below as well as by those who attended the show. It is is a three-color hand-pulled screenprint. It’s an edition of 25 prints, signed by Jon with white spraypaint and additional unique hand-drawn element, measuring 35 x 50cm / 13.8×19.7″ for £75.
Humac Doodles from Oslo
Jon posted up some pictures from his recent trip to Oslo where he did digital doodling at Humac. Writes Jon:
This was my first ever trip to Norway. I noticed it was snowy but nice there.

Posse Spotting: Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan
The Posse hit up the Vivienne Westwood shop in Harajuku. Look to the right of the Union Jack. Or go southeast of the Sexy Dynamite sign. Whatever works for you.
Doodle Portraiture
Got this great picture from superfans Jeps and Evelien. That’s the pair in 3D and Burgerized 2D with their rabbit, Emo, who you may remember from his first appearance in the Posse. They’ve recently invited another rabbit, Krunky, to the family, so clearly Jon will need to visit the Netherlands and add to this family portrait.
Digital Dogs Print
A place called Designer Toy Store has this Digital Dogs Print. Everyone knows Burgerman favors cats, so clearly he’s throwing a bone to all your dog lovers:
This print is a limited edition of 50 and will never be re-printed. Print on 200GSM Art. Size: A3 (11”X 17”). Price: 19.99 UK 22.98 EUR 32.31 USD 35.53 AUD
Found by Jeps. Available while supplies last here.
Haiti Earthquake Relief Poster
Jon Burgerman joins The Poster Cause’s Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort with a full-color 6″x11″ print for $15. ALL PROCEEDS go to Doctors Without Borders. By now, everyone has seen the devastation and heard the televised requests for medical personnel and supplies. Maybe you’ve already texted 90999 to give $10 to the Red Cross and are able to give just a little bit more. For $15, you can get a poster by Jon and also help provide post-op care in Haiti (currently one of the most pressing medical needs).
Posse Spotting: Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Tokyu Security is no match for the Posse! Nice triple-play of Maneki Neko.

Posse Spotting: Miami Design District
The posse struck in Miami’s Wynwood area, where thanks to the interest of hip local galleries and walls and walls of outdoor murals sponsored by Deitch Projects (and sidenote: Jeffrey Deitch just named director of MOCA!), street art abounds. Very cool to see the posse stickers hobnobbing with the project’s biggest influencers, Shepard and Andre. Closeups after the jump.
