Giant Musical Doodles Poster
Jon’s definitely been exploring a new and musical chapter in his life recently, so it’s only fitting that he’d combine his love for music and doodles into one giant hybrid poster monster. The high quality print on 230gsm uncoated art paper is a massive format, portrait size 100×70 cm / 39.6×27.6″ beast sent rolled in a a strong card tube for £15 or ~ $23. I’ve learned via Jon’s Flickr that the above poster is being modeled by “the lovely Mel”. Check it out at Burgerplex here.
Lossy Botany Lab: The Doodles (and More)
Above you see our heroes: the evening’s artist, Jon, flanked by Jeps and Evelien (of Darker and the Dutch Doodlesplatter posse) who made the trek from The Netherlands to the Lossy Botany Lab show at Hamburg’s heliumcowboy artspace. As with most of Jon’s shows, there is a ton of work, so here’s just a glimpse at some of the doodles (many of which were plant-based matter-themed) captured for us by J & E. Stay tuned (or look back) for a plethora of posts [click here for current tag archive], each concerning a separate element of the installation and exhibit. Click through for a gallery of images and price list from the event. Thanks to Jeps and Evelien for all the great visuals!
Lossy Botany Lab: The Wood Panels
Here we see the wood panels Jon incorporated into his Lossy Botany Lab show at Hamburg’s heliumcowboy artspace. Click here to see the humble beginnings of these colorful panels. I think this work looks great on wood, and it ties in with the Lossy Botany Lab theme, as well. All photos courtesy of Jeps and Evelien of Darker and the Dutch Doodlesplatter posse.

Lossy Botany Lab Sneak Peeks Part 3: Getting Sketchy
Jon always fills a sketchbook in prep for a show or a painting. Here, he’s shared with Doodlesplatter some of his preliminary sketches for The Lossy Botany Lab at heliumcowboy artspace in Hamburg. Throughout today, you’ll see more of how these doodles were fleshed out. The show opens in ONE DAY on July 1st! Jeps will be representing and picture-taking on behalf of the Dutch posse! In the meantime, you can see a tag archive of all previews and sneaks here.
Lossy Botany Lab Sneak Peeks Part 2: Color on Canvas
Yesterday, we got some Felt Mistress plush peeks and some outlines and splashes of color for Jon’s upcoming solo show, The Lossy Botany Lab at heliumcowboy artspace in Hamburg. Today, we’ve got still more sneaks of work-in-progress. This should be a very interesting show, because as a vegetarian, plants are central to Jon’s diet. As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Basically, Jon Burgerman is a salad. Lossy Botany Lab opens July 1st at 8PM. Stay tuned for sketches and installations!
Jet Set Bedwetter
We all know that Jon is a well-traveled doodler, but there’s no reason to believe that this piece is autobiographical! Jeps dug up this artifact from 2006 at Cadence Designs.
Penned in black and orange, in typical Burgerman fashion and framed behind non-reflective glass in a white painted frame, this is a rare opportunity to purchase an excellent plain paper medium sketch by this much sought after artist.
The piece has a visible width of approximately 34cm. and a visible height of approximately 24cm. It is being offered at £500 here.
Jon Burgerman Likes Cats
Jon Burgerman digs cats. To paraphrase an old adage, the proof is in the kibbles. Of his latest poster, he writes:
Do you like cats? What is your favourite cat? Here are my favourite cats, the ones I’ve met over the years and have left a lasting impression on me.
Via Jon’s Flickr, I’ve collected a few of his feline friends (see below), mostly those he encountered during his Brooklyn residency last summer. You can see some more cat action in this My American Summer montage video. You can get the Cats poster over at Burgerplex. It’s a “massive format portrait size 70×100 cm / 27.6×39.6″ high quality print on 230gsm uncoated art paper sent rolled in a a strong card tube for $21.56 USD. Click through for some cute overload.
Brain Drain Begins!
If you’re reading this, you’re probably not at the The Winchester Discovery Centre, where Jon’s latest solo show, Brain Drain, is currently commencing. Not wanting his overseas friends to be left out of the fun, Jon sent over some snaps of the almost-complete show. You can view the finished product live at the Winchester or over at his site here. Brain Drain looks great, and it’s full of new mixed media, muradoodles and collaborative work. The show runs through July 11th. If you’re in the area, Jon will be there for a talk on May 26th. RSVP for the 5/26 chat here.
Art From Back From Black
Jon just sent over some snaps from the Italian Urban Superstar 2010 Back from Black expo. I also snagged a few shots by Cristina Cusani from the Urban Superstars blog. Contact the gallery for availability of the work.
Art From Pen Friends Show
The theme of Jon’s Pen Friends show at Here Gallery seems to have been recycled materials with a colorful array of envelopes (see previous post), reclaimed cardboard and cereal boxes. More photos from where I pilfered these on Here’s Flickr set. Contact info [at] heregallery [dot] co [dot] uk for details and availability.
