Computer Arts Free USB Card Offer
Computer Arts is a rather expensive mag as priced here in the US. Not to say it’s not worth each penny and pound, but just that I’m lucky I’ve got UK natives who send me their copies and scans (thanks!). That said, magazines are great. Don’t you love turning glossy pages? If you’ve been holding out on subscribing, CA has now sweetened the pot, and turned this browser into a buyer.
Straight from Computer Arts:
This is a truly great gift! Probably the best gift ever to be offered on Computer Arts magazine.
Straight from Jon:
If you subscribe to Computer Arts magazine you now get this nifty 2GB USB card adorned with my scribbles. They come pre-loaded with tutorials and interviews but you can delete those straight away and store all your illegal downloads and saucy photos on it.
$124.99 USD will get you 13 issues of CA and some slick new memory. Subscription info for various countries can be found here. Thanks to Amir for the hi-res scans below!
Computer Arts Issue 169: Promote Yourself
Jon snags another Computer Arts cover with issue 169. The issue features a psychedelic full color cover, an interview, a print and the “essential Jon Burgerman.” On newstands in the UK now. Coming to the US soon. Subscriptions with exciting gifts available here. Thanks to Amir for the hi-res scans. If you can’t find it in your country, and you don’t have a helpful Neon Hive to send you a copy, drop me an email, and I’ll forward you the digital version.
Computer Arts Projects Issue 126: Character Design
It’s character design time again over at Computer Arts Projects, and issue 126 delivers big time. Thunder Chunky has a nice preview of the magazine, which includes: Peskimo, Mark Verhaagen, Tado, JamFactory, Niark 1, Mijn Schatje, 123 Klan, Triclops studio, Jeremyville, Lunartik, Alexis West, Loworks, Sourbones, Skaffs, Aaron Miller, Eboy, Superdeux, Misu2020, Motomochi, Meomi, 64 Colors, Supakitch and Kozyndan.
Jon, who has graced the cover of C.A.P. before, has a “My Career So Far” spread in which 9 years of doodling are whittled down to a couple pages of chronological highlights. The biggest highlight for me was seeing Doodlesplatter name-checked (pg. 93: 2009 section or click to enlarge image below). Thanks for the shout and the scans, Jon!
Computer Arts Projects 126 (August issue) came out July 16th. U.S. bookstores are still carrying the July issue, but keep an eye on your favorite local news stand or Borders to get a copy in the next few weeks.
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.

Computer Arts Issue 151: Build a Better Portfolio
Jon has done two covers for Computer Arts: issue 127 in 2006 and issue 151 in 2008. Issue 151 was entitled Build a Better Portfolio, and it examines the theme of self-initiated work and how it can boost a creative professional’s portfolio. You may be able to get a back issue here.
Computer Arts Issue 127: No Limits Design
Jon has done a couple covers for Computer Arts magazine. Issue 127 came out in 2006 with the topic of No Limits Design.
For many designers today a job producing an illustration for an add campaign just isn’t going to cut it in terms of challenges and financial rewards. The current generation of designers are more likely to match commercial work with a whole load of side projects which really stretch their talents and imaginations which could be anything from interior design to fabrics to installations.
You may be able to get a back-issue of it here.
