Giant Foam Monkey Sculpture
It’s time to get that monkey off your back…patio. And onto maybe a suburban lawn. Or really hip miniature golf course. Factory Fresh has got this massive monkey designed by Jon in conjunction with local expert, Maritza. The monkey is made of foam, though not this kind of foam. It’s polystyrene with a resin coating. The sculpture features a motion sensor and light-up eyes. Says Jon, “You drop in jokes, wishes, etc.” With its outdoor paint, you could really make a statement in your subdivision with this one. $1,650 here.
Metal Cheesey Sculpture From FullyVisual
Jon is about to join the respectable ranks of the FullyVisual roster with this hand-cast limited edition metal “Cheesey” figure. I’ve been waiting patiently as some other awesome artists (see also FullyVisual figures by Joe Ledbetter, Bwana Spoons, Buff Monster, Huck Gee, Gary Baseman, Frank Kozik, Luke Chueh and Amanda Visell) got their characters rendered in metal, all the while suspecting Jon’s time would come. The time is now (or more accurately, “coming soon”).
The Cheesey figure is 3.5 inches tall and features a metal cheese accessory. I can’t imagine it’s an easy task to represent Jon’s characters in a medium like metal, so I eagerly await seeing one in hand. Like the rest of FV’s figures, I suspect the edition of 100 pieces will feature 99 siver and 1 chase gold. You can get one now at Burgerplex for £70, but Jon assures me that for those of us in countries with weak dollars, FullyVisual will also be offering them in USD soon. And bonus for you metalheads, may I suggest pairing it with this pendant from Metal For Monsters?
Pop Idle Sculptures
Pop Idle was Jon’s solo show that ran in April of 2008 at London’s Concrete Hermit Gallery that had, among other choice objects d’art, several large sculptural pieces, prints, reclaimed cardboard art and a zine. The work featured offered visitors “a chance to worship and share private prayers with the idle Idols. Redemption, salvation and salivation are all promised.” Here are the sculptures.

WorryKnott
WorryKnott is a collaborative desktop sculpture between Jon and Stuart Witter of the UK-based Lowlife Collective. Each hand-cast white resin sculpture is approximately 135×120x80mm and comes hand numbered and signed along with a metal WorryKnott pin. It is finished in a protective lacquer. Strict edition of 50 for about £50.00 each.
WorryKnott charts the inevitability of getting tangled up in anxiety and its ultimate choking futility. It is the first time one of Jon Burgerman’s intricately doodled compositions has been rendered as a sculpture. These were/art available through Jon’s webshop and Concrete Hermit. I have #40. I get tangled up in anxiety often.
