About the Author

Though known for his colourful work in drawing and print, animation and toy design, Jon Burgerman retains a British sense of self-deprecation, humour and anxiety in his aesthetic. He regularly exhibits and publishes in venues around the globe, while making sure his pop-influenced characters find their way onto bags, books, mobile phones, lunch boxes, and Frisbees, to name a few.

This review is from: Jon Burgerman: Pens are my Friends (Hardcover)

I am a graphic designer/artist and once I found out about Jon Burgerman's artwork I immediately loved his style. His book is well designed and will not disappoint if you like his style. This book is filled with many of his artworks on a variety of non-traditional mediums that graphic designers will love. The cover that you see on the listing page is actually a large format poster that you can take out and unfold to reveal the rest of the poster.The fold-out poster wraps around the book and is protected underneath a clear (sturdy) plastic book jacket. This is a great idea that I have never seen on any other artbooks. The book comes with a DVD that shows some more of his work along with some nice extras. I wish there was a place in the book to hold the CD and CD jacket but it is loose but still a nice extra. Nice inside semi-glossy pages too!I am still happy I have this book in my collection.
