Aladdin Artist Series Mug and Bowl
This morning’s post about dixie cups got me thinking about housewares and remembering this bit of merchandise from last summer’s NY International Gift Fair. Well here they are! Aladdin makes recycled plastic into art, specifically artist bowls and insulated art mugs. Jon has two pieces in Artist Series 1. The 20 oz dishwasher and microwave-safe art bowl has an easy grip art-lid and is free of BPAs. The 12 oz mug is dishwasher and car-cup friendly with a flip lid and is also delightfully bereft of those BPAs. DIY blank mugs in 8 and 16 oz sizes are also offered for those of you customizers out there.
I like the language Aladdin uses and their commitment to recycling. Fun stuff you can feel good about. Both items are priced at $20 each through Aladdin or for slightly cheaper among Jon’s art at Kidrobot online. Dang it if Jon and Buff Monster aren’t going to make me start wearing and eating more pink. Here’s a bit more about Aladdin. Check ‘em!
Aladdin has been creating lifestyle products for people just like you since 1908. From the character lunch boxes you remember as a kid, to the sleek mug you use to tote your morning coffee, we’re committed to creating unique food and beverage solutions that fit your lifestyle. Products that are sustainable, stylish, and above all, functional. Products to love.
Doodled Dixie Cups
Elektrodrop is a “creative collective of designers, artists, fashion, music and lifestyle enthusiasts trying to get by in this crazy world.” Following the instructions in Jon’s pre-signing tweet, they brought along a truly random object to have burgerized: the common dixie cup. The results really elevate this formerly disposable object. The Elektrodrop crew also picked up a customized Munny and an autographed microfiber cleaning cloth. For the entire roundup of doodled objects from the KR London signing, click here.
Customized Clock
It’s been great seeing the variety of objects fans brought to Jon’s Kidrobot London signing. To be fair, he did send out a tweet inviting people to bring out the crazy. Both photos courtesy of Kidrobot’s Flickr set. Click here to see the full array of random doodled objects.
Posse Spotting: Eindhoven, Holland
Spotted at a a hardcore/punk CD stand at the Persistence Festival in Eindhoven, Holland. This is the pattern we’ve seen before here and also as a cat-friendly tablecloth during Jon’s American Summer. Fashionable scarves and punk rock vending, it’s all posse-approved.
Framed Beer Matts
Doodlesplatter posse member, Amir, sent in these great snaps of his beer matts. I love the concept of framing something as “disposable” as coasters. Amir got the Burgerman beer matts at Broadway Cinema and had them framed at Paramount Picture Framing in the UK. Writes Amir:
I assumed broadway and paramount picture framing were in collaboration for this event. Since I haven’t seen anyone else doing this online, it makes me wonder if I was the only one who did it. Imagine that.
Nice job!
Music Sales Rug
I am stupid -jealous of this rug Jon designed for Music Sales. The whimsical floor covering matches nicely with the muradoodle he did there this summer. More practical textiles, please! Shower curtains?
Autographed Aladdin Mugs
A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short. For a minimum $10 donation at this week’s New York International Gift Fair, you can pick up a mug autographed by Jon from the Aladdin Booth (#3170). Apparently, Jon did live painting here on Sunday. Who knew?! Aladdin makes sustainable mugs:
The stylish 16oz Mug is made with eCycle®, a durable, FDA-compliant 100% recycled and recyclable plastic with a 25% post-consumer content and recycled packaging. It is 100% recyclable where [5] plastic is collected, so it can be fed back into the resource loop (cradle-to-cradle). It is easy to disassemble for rapid recycling, reuse and repurpose. The Mug features double wall insulation and a closing drink-through lid, fits car cup holders, and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
Thanks to Jim of Gift & Home Today for the tip and the scans!
Deadgood Doodle Chair
Deadgood has revealed a sneak preview of an exciting furniture design project with Jon that will officially launch at 100% Design this September:
Defined by a dynamic use of colour and a unique graphic energy, Burgerman’s distinctive doodle scrawls have been screen printed and encapsulated within a resin imrpegnated craft core, overlaid with melamine and subsequently pressed at high temperatures to create a highly durable surfacing material.
Deadgood “strives to create objects that are both beautiful and unique” and from the looks of it, they have succeeded with this. I can’t wait to see more.
Broadway Cinema Beermats
Broadway Cinema launched its own ale, called Reel Ale, and to celebrate, they asked Jon to design some special beermats. One beermat (aka coaster) was available each week for four weeks. When bar patrons collect all four, they combine “to create an insight into [Jon’s] Broadway Cinema-going experience.”
Writes Jon:
For the last ten years I’ve been a regular at the great independent cinema, in the centre of Nottingham. I can’t even remember all the films I’ve seen there, but notable visits included viewing Cube, Funny Games, Cache, The Blair Witch Project, Rushmore, Pi, Dogville, Shortbus and a documentary about birds. I’ve consumed a fair amount of sweet popcorn, the odd ice-cream and since they’ve officially allowed it, many pints of beer in there.
If you were a coaster-completist, you’d also have Jon’s set of beermats for Propaganda.
Posca Pen Packs
If Michael Phelps can be a spokesman for Speedo, it’s long overdue for Jon Burgerman to collaborate with Posca. So in collaboration with their most shining star and advocate, Posca produced limited edition pen packs with Jon’s artwork and stickers inside. The packs contain six extra-fine bullet tip pens in black, white, red and hard-to-find metallic silver and gold. Pack size is approx 140×90x10mm. The Posca pen packs are available in select shops in the UK and through Jon’s webshop here for £9 UK or £11 non-UK.
