Vomit Comet
Vomit Comet is Jon’s latest design for I Dress Myself: the Eco-Friendly Screen Printers. It’s is a limited edition three-color art print, hand printed using water based inks on A2 size on recycled paper. Each one has been signed and numbered by Jon. There are 60 in the edition for £45 each here.
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.
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.
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.
Turbulence Leap

Not My Type
Jon is participating in NOT MY TYPE: An Out of Character Experiment. The show is a “typographical exploration of 26 letters (and a few stray characters) by 35 different illustrators, designers and artists, all displayed as one alphabet”. Curated by Charlotte Audrey and Jonathan Costello, the project is sponsored by Fluid (a Birmingham-based studio) and Creating in Birmingham (the site of the event). The show opens May 6th and runs through June 1st. For more info, and availability of the prints, check out the Facebook group and the CMYKern website.

Close Your Eyes Until It’s Over
While I was over at Wondercon, and some of the rest of you were celebrating Easter, Jon was working on this tall order he called, “Close Your Eyes Until It’s Over.” Ironic title considering he invited us along for the ride through Twitter and Flickr!
Posse Spotting: Saturn Cafe, Santa Cruz, California
If Jon ever manages to make it out to Northern California, the Posse has staked out Saturn Cafe in Santa Cruz for a great lunch. This place really is my “favorite space age vegetarian diner.”
Saturn Café offers traditional comfort food with a healthy twist. Stepping into the Saturn Café, you know you have arrived on another planet. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff strives each day to exceed your expectations, and engage and delight your senses. This is a place where dressing up in a costume can happen on any night of the year, where the foods of childhood fantasies are even more delicious than you remember, and magic might just lie around the corner of every sparkly, pink booth.
Also, the staff are cute punk kids, the tables feature dioramas and the restrooms throw gender to the wind, instead offering you the options of robots vs. aliens.

Customized Lomography Camera
Jon has customized a Diana camera for a traveling exhibition arriving in London this week to celebrate the Lomography camera.
‘Lomo’ cameras have gained cult status in recent years thanks to their ‘imperfectly perfect’ images, which are typically colour-drenched, low-fi and with unpredictable contrast, giving a retro, authentic feel. The manufacturer, Lomography, has capitalised on the cameras’ hipster status, releasing a slew of special editions and customised versions.
The Diana World Tour started in Hong Kong and has travelled to Tokyo, Seoul, Porto, Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, New York and now London. It is at the Lomography Gallery Store April 2-30.
A nice excuse to add “cameras” to the list of canvases in our tag cloud! Thanks to Digital Arts for the head’s up.
Custom Vinyl Rody
Everybody at Doodlesplatter is always excited when there’s the potential for a new Jon Burgerman toy. We think that the rumored collab with Amanda Visell may have been just that (a rumor), so the current fate of new JB toys lies in the hands (hooves) of an Italian horse named Rody. Rody was licensed by a Japanese company called Jammy, turned into a vinyl toy by intheyellow and is now the subject of a group custom toy show sponsored by the great folks at Paradise Toy Land in Taipei. Jon is representing all of England amongst an excellent roster that also includes Bwana Spoons, Uamou and Tim Biskup (and Tim Biskup’s daughter). The show is currently up and running (trotting) in Taipei.
For those of you keeping count, this is actually Jon’s SECOND custom horse toy. The first was Pizza Face Pony for the My Little Pony Project in 2008. Perhaps if Rody is successful overseas, we’ll eventually get a production version. But let’s not put the cart before the horse. OK I’ll quit horsing around with the puns now!

Small Favors at Giant Robot
Small Favors, a show of about 70 artists working in mini-size, opened tonight at Giant Robot in New York. Jon’s pieces (particularly when viewed together) have a much more definitively downer tone than the My American Summer work he did for GRNY less than a year ago. This tends to make me think that it’s the chilly Nottingham air that is rendering Jon–much like the color of the paper in the work shown above–blue. Come back to America, Mr. Burgerman! (And will you bring your solution to standard-sounding indie music, aka Anxieteam, too?)

Lowriders and Columbots
Looks like someone let Jon watch TV again. You know what happens when pop culture meets Poscas? This sort of goodness. Leave a note on Jon’s Flickr to support seeing Lowrider or Columbot perhaps make it into a print.
