Economies of Scale
Jon’s second solo exhibit in Beijing, China, Economies of Scale, opened October 25th at Deshan Art Space. Luckily, it will be on display through February 2010. The show includes a giant muradoodle and large, colorful paintings on paper and fabric. Pieces are priced between ￡3000-￡5000. Click here and here for more images, and email kyq96573 [at] 126.com for availability. Sorry this one’s a little late! Full queue here at Doodlesplatter Laboratories. Check back daily!
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?
Full Moon Fabric Prints
Since writing about this gigantic Pens Are My Friends fabric print, I’ve wondered how luxuriously Jon’s doodles would translate to textiles. I still haven’t had the opportunity to find out first-hand, but two additional rare fabric prints from the Because I Can’t Sit Still show recently popped up over at Burgerplex. Full Moon Blue and Full Moon Red are both 33×46″ digital prints on fabric, editions of one each. They come with metal hanging rods for just under $300 USD. Surprising myself with a deviation from my typical color prefs, but loving the red!
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.”
Doodled Cushion
Remember Steve’s sermon on the uselessness of pillows on Coupling? If your girlfriend insists on couch cushions, make a case for this one by Jon for NINETEENSEVENTYTHREE. It measures 500 x 500mm and is digitally printed onto 100% cotton. The doodles are a blue and grey colorway for £40.00 per cushion.
Because I Can’t Sit Still
Because I Can’t Sit Still was Jon’s second solo show in London and it continues the work of the August Anserine Apparitions show in Hamburg. The work featured included Anxiety Wall: a sprawling installation of ink drawings wallpapering the entire back of the gallery space (later sold off to fans), sculptural pieces, new large scale fabric prints and the showcase of his monograph Pens Are My Friends book published by IdN. This show ran from October 20th to November 1st 2008 at Coningsby Gallery.
Custom Sofa
Jon customized sofas as part of Tiger Translate in Beijing. The sofas were used on stage that Saturday, and also feature the doodles of Jeremyville, Luke Bennett, Ben Frost, Li Qiu Qiu, Song Yang and Nie Jun.
Gigantic Pens Are Good Fabric Print
This large-scale fabric print (Approx 232×200cm; That’s 91×78 inches!) was part of Jon’s Because I Can’t Sit Still show. It is printed using cutting edge techniques, and the prints are made to order. He will supply it with two metal bars to aid hanging. Available here. [Note 12/27/09: Orders are no longer shipping with a certificate of authenticity, but if you're ordering it directly from Jon or Burgerplex, and unless Jon has been taken over by aliens, you are probably safe.] I wish I could get one of these!
Greengoon Rip Curl European Collection
Jon designed a T-shirt, hoodie, cap, backpack, surfboard, snowboard and ski, surf and snowgear for Rip Curl Europe. All of the pieces in his summer and winter collections were made out of organic and recycled materials and have a unique Burgerman aesthetic plus a personal hangtag sticker with the Greengoon on it. Greengoon is Jon’s imaginary green friend that eats worms and recycles: “a classic Jon Burgerman character that fits perfectly in the Rip Curl Planet framework.” This gear is so awesome, it almost makes me want to be sporty. Here are tons of photos of the clothes, wall-doodling, the Greengoon and a video. Check it all out to get the full range of the range. If you stare long enough, you might have a Magic Eye experience.
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.
