"Jon Burgerman is a UK born, NYC based artist instigating improvisation and play through drawing and spectacle. He is a purveyor of doodles and is often credited and referenced as the leading figure in the popular 'Doodle' art style.
His work oscillates somewhere between fine art, urban art and pop-culture, using humour to reference and question his contemporary milieu. His is a pervasive and instantly recognisable aesthetic that exists across a multitude of forms including canvases, large scale murals (indoor and outside), sculpture, toys, apparel, design, print and people (as tattoos and temporary drawings)." http://jonburgerman.com/info/press
Burgerman's work follows along the lines of surrealism, however has a very contemporary style. He works from automatic drawing and creates pieces and character designs from these doodles. I love his work and it reminds me of Moshi Monsters in a way! Very graffiti style, the colours are so bright with black outlines, an obvious cartoon style.
Burgerman has been commissioned to create artwork for the university he studied at, Nottingham Trent, which is a uni I've been considering applying for. I've decided I love his work after looking at only a few posts on his blog! It's just so random and cool! ahhh fantastic, going to try something like this myself!
