Grappin’ Money La Painthouse Shirt
A Jon Burgerman shirt without color is a rare shirt indeed. In fact, aside from 2007’s black on white On the Wall shirt, I’m hard-pressed to ID another completely monotone shirt in the artkive. Until now. Jon made this new all-over print “Grappin’ Money” shirt for La Painthouse, a division of the Paris-based The Dirty Cream. Definitely digging everything except the price, which is $65.25 USD before international shipping charges are applied. Ouch. If you’ve got the scratch, or maybe you’re located in France, check it out though. Cool shirt in S, M, L and XL. The La Painthouse line also features shirts by MCA, Reach and Shin Tanaka. FYI, entomology of “Grappin’”?
Artoyz Elements Alpha Series
The Artoyz Elements Alpha Series first made its debut at the Bread and Butter Show in Barcelona over the summer of 2008, and I’ve been waiting ever since. The 20-figure group series (based on the platform by Easy Hey) dropped in France in March 2009. You can get them from the Artoyz shop for about $9.90 USD each. The figures should be available in the US soon.
Each display box consists of 25 figures, with 19-20 uniques. The series has 20 standard figures (of which 2 are rare) and 2 unannounced chase figures. Each case will have 5-6 duplicates, but you will get no more than two of the same figure in a case. There will never be a case that has fewer than 19 out of 20 uniques or more than 6 doubles. Regarding doubles, there will never be more than 2 of a single figure, so no worrying about getting octuplets like Nadya Suleman.
This is really the only time I’ve ever been happy to get a double. Jon’s figure has a ratio of 2:25 and is packed two to a case in all of the case layouts. So if you buy a case like I did, not only will you have one of the best mini-figure series of the year in near-entirety, but you’re guaranteed a double-dose of this little flamer.
Immature Miniatures Digital Prints on Canvas
April 14th through May 31st of 2007, Jon joined forces with TADO to transform Paris’ Dadawan/Madturnip (now collectively known as NUKOD) into a wall-to-wall doodlefest. Together, they made so much incredible collaborative art. There were collabodoodles, digital prints on canvas, giclee prints, hand-made resin toys and hand-sewn felt plushes. They even drew on the balloons. This post features the canvases. The colors, the characters, the details…I wish I had them all. [Pictures from Jon Burgerman, Tado's Flickr and Dadawan's Flickr.]

Artoyz Exhibit in Paris 2006
Jon had an exhibit at Artoyz Galerie in Paris from May 4-20th 2006 featuring new large canvas prints, scribbles and toys. Jon hid five drawings on yellow paper around the gallery and anyone sending in photos won a special prize. In the two pictures immediately below, you can see hand-painted precursors to 2007’s Burgermenos Qee series and 2008’s Heroes of Burgertown mini figures. Below them is ZeebZeeb, Winkus and just a few examples of some spectacular (and colorful) canvases. Pictures via Jon’s site and Artoyz Flickr page (with some teeny edits).
Panos 2004 Fake Street Signs
In 2004, Jon joined artists from around the world in a collaborative project that takes turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls by way of fake street signs.
The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think. This project has a delightful sense of humor, lots playful absurdity and a wonderful scale.
The innovative project was put on by UNCHI and KANARDO.
