Guest Artist on Creatures in My Head
In 2004, Jon had a guest spot on Andrew Bell’s Creatures In My Head blog. While most of the other guest artists took a more “traditional” creature approach, Jon gave us the “You Have No More Money…or Friends” monster. Andrew An anonymous user (see Andrew’s comment below) tagged it with, among other things, “abstract,” “color,” and “lips”. The original post is here.
Free Pickle Pig Pins at Burgerplex This Month
Budget blocking you from picking up one of these Pickle Pig Plush Collabs With Felt Mistress? How do you like little, metal and free? These exclusive pickle pig pin badges will be added to any Burgerplex purchase made within the month of June.
Collaborative Scarves for Brain Drain
Jon’s current Brain Drain solo show features some fresh fabric collaborations. These scarves were done in conjunction with Lin Fashions. You can see a few more of the scarves on Jon’s site (8th picture down) here.
Temporary Tattoos
I just stumbled across this image on Flickr. It’s none other than a Kindered Doodler, Mims of Stoodle! Here, she and a friend, have made a Craola commitment to Pinkcess and Gumps. Nice!
Worryknott and Gumps Diecast Metal Pins
Worryknott and Gumps diecast metal pin badges are briefly back in stock at Burgerplex for £3 each. Whereas Jon refers to the method of attachment as a “spikey bit on the back,” we civilized sorts call it a “tie tack.” The Worryknott pin originally accompanied Jon’s resin Worryknott sculpture. These 1-inch Worryknotts are about an inch tall and come in red. On the subject of worry, wise words from the Burgerman:
Worry really does solve nothing. Just think of all the previous times you’ve over worried about something… did it really turn out that bad? It can’t of done too much else you wouldn’t still be here. Focus on the good, not on the possibly bad.
Rock the pin as a reminder.
Artoyz Foulard
I had to look up the definition of foulard. It’s kind of like a scarf. Jon made one that you can get for $35 from Artoyz Clothing.
Little Best Friends Belt
This is another great belt from the Yummy Industries folks who made Jon’s last belt. The Burgerland Woven belt was a tad pink for my taste, so this darker Little Best Friends belt makes me feel suitably macho wearing doodles above my groin. You can currently get one direct from Jon here. If you scroll to the bottom of his post, you’ll find this: “A note from an American belt owner called Jeremy “for non-UK buyers, lay off the carbs if you wear bigger than size 34 pants.”
1 Inch Pin Badge Project
Along with fellow designer, Ian Stevenson, Jon is a featured artist for the premier of the UK’s 1 Inch Pin Badge Project. Jon’s design is called “Gay Dino.” 1 inch is a pin badge project that puts out exclusive 1″ pin badges every month from great designers created especially for 1 inch. The project was established in May 2008 by Clive McFarland. You can buy them on the website before they sell out or choose to be a subscriber. Subscribers get a new badge every month for as long as they remain subscribed. All of this can be done seemlessly through Paypal. Buttons are £2 each or for £1.50 for subscribers.
Size? Clothing Collaboration
Jon released a range of clothing and with UK premium sneaker chain Size?. In this series, Size? got together with artists to produce limited edition products. Jon’s is the first collaboration, and it consists of a t-shirt, sweatshirt (jumper), reversible hoodie, belt and matching umbrella covered in orange doodles on black fabric. Everything in the collection are limited to 300 pieces worldwide. I have the sweatshirt, and it rules! I wonder how geeky it would be to deck out in the full range of coordinate gear? It’s tempting…
You can get Jon’s pieces in the Size? online store, through Jon’s webshop (check availability, most items are sold out) and Size? stores in Dublin, Glasgow, Birmingham, London, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Liverpool, Cardiff and Brighton.
