Doodlezine Issue 2 Centerfold
Not everyone gets to be a centerfold, but Jon can claim the honor with this black and white “misery” doodle for Issue 2 of Doodlezine. The zine will be in A5 format, with a hand-screenprinted cover (by Bish) and “the usual stickers, rubber stamps, amazing artwork, etc.” It will be on sale at the Liverpool Artist’s Book Fair June 20-21st and in their etsy shop after that. You can also pre-order a copy by emailing doodlezine[at]hotmail[dot]com.
Doodlezine is created by Abi Whitehouse and Desdemona McCannon. Doodles happen when your mind is off the hook and your hand is holding a pen. Anyone can doodle. Doodles access thoughts you were not aware of. Doodles are surprising, beautiful, crazy and often a bit wonky.

turbochainsaw is a non-profit underground publication featuring artists, photographers and creative writers from all over the world. The Mag/zine is A5 portrait, B+W, 100pages, Perfect bound and limited to 150 copies. Jon’s work was featured in an issue.
Pipit Forum for Conversation
In the first half of the 2000’s, you could find artists like Jon Burgerman contributing to the chatter on forums like Kidrobot and Octane3. Perhaps due to burnout or independent social networks, such bulletin-style conversations petered out. However, in an unusual return to UBB, Jon joined up with Malaysia’s Pipit to answer Q&A on their public forum. The thread ran from October 2008-Novemver 2008 and contains some good information.
Arkitip
Jon’s work has been featured in several issues of Arkitip. Though I can’t place the exact issue in which this doodled envelope was found, it fits perfectly with the magazine’s commitment to site-specific artwork: Arkitip delivers original, site specific artwork in every issue. The assignment for the artists who contribute is to create something original to run in the magazine. Artists have the opportunity to design and layout the art they contribute as well. Making a contribution to Arkitip is like creating your own “installation” that is then distributed around the world. It’s like a traveling exhibition that you can take home.
[UPDATE 1/2/09: Thanks to the comment below from Ian, we think this image appears in Arkitip issue 26 which is long gone, but a few appear to still be available for $100 directly from Arkitip here.]

Computer Arts Projects Issue 82: Character Design
While the likes of Mickey Mouse and Spider-Man have hogged the character limelight for many decades, a new generation of character designers–weaned on comic books, Star Wars films and Japanese animations – have been busy creating new characters that reflect their own environments and the fast-changing nature of modern design. Computer Arts Projects Issue 82 puts these characters and their designers under the microscope and takes a look at how cutting-edge character design works–from the vinyl toys of James Jarvis to the highly individual world of Jon Burgerman. With tutorials and tips from some of the best in the business and profiles and features on those leading the way, we bring you everything you need to know to get characters into your work.
