All Decks on Hand is a skateboard deck art auction to raise money for autism research. The show is a collaboration by After Hours Gallery, the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center, and nearly 200 artists.
These 200 artists are from across the country, Canada, United Kingdom and Arizona and have created custom, one-of-a-kind works of art on skateboard decks and donated their works to After Hours Gallery. The gallery will exhibit the boards and auction them off November 6 through December 4, 2009. On November 7th, the bidding started online. The final art auction takes place on First Friday of December 4th at 8 p.m. at After Hours Gallery.
Join the bidding for Jon’s board here. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction of the skateboard decks will benefit SARRC’s Vocational & Life Skills Academy.
Blank, wooden skateboard decks were provided to the artists, including participants from the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center’s (SARRC) Autism Artisans program. The artists then painted, decorated or otherwise covered the deck in art. The artwork styles range from paintings, and mosaics, to photographs, and more.

Not quite quick enough on this one, I’m afraid. Oki-ni just put up for sale an edition of 24 wooden jigsaw puzzles based on Jon’s art for the 2008 Rogue Audio album, Haphazard.
This is a specially created Rogue Audio Jigsaw for oki-ni.com in conjunction with the artist Jon Burgerman and record label Global Underground, to celebrate the release of Rogue Audio’s new album “Haphazard”.
There are only 24 of these in existence so we don’t expect them to last too long!!! An amazing collectors piece and executed to the highest spec, these really are amazing. Get one fast.
Somehow I didn’t know these existed, but when Oki-ni dropped them to just £8.00, they promptly sold out.

I wish I’d been clever enough to do stuff like this in college:
Over the past few months, students Megan Riera, Joe Phillips, Sarah Franco Alves, Christian Carlsson and James Kay from the BA (hons) Design for Moving Image and Graphic Design courses at Ravensbourne College of Design have been sending their favourite designers and illustrators packages containing random objects scoured from London charity shops and car boot sales. 50 designers and illustrators including Milton Glaser, Jonathan Barnbrook, Michael Bierut, Paula Scher, Kate Moross, Jon Burgerman and Si Scott have agreed to take part. The final items were placed in a silent auction at the Vibe Bar on Brick Lane on April 30th.
Jon contributed a mug and a skatedeck. For more info visit www.blankcanvasevent.co.uk.

Jon was part of a guest range of designers for the UK’s Science Skateboards. The 100% Canadian Maple Ply decks were pressed in California and feature a new, lighter construction. Jon’s deck measures 8.06 inch x 31.75 inches. He has his own page with a brief interview here. You can get the deck for £41.00 here.

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.
