Graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2001. Soon after established himself as a freelance artist through 'well known doodle style and character work.' Clients have included Pepsi, MTV, rip curl and many others. Also, he has established his own clothing line, toys and accessories through his own brands.
Exhibited for over 5 years in the uk and internationally.
'Drawing has played a really important part in my life. As a kid, I vividly remember using my leftover food to make castles and draw weird creatures on my plate. I then outgrew my plate and moved on to bigger things: my house walls, to my parents dismay. After many canings and sore asses, during my teenage years, I used to draw in all of my borrowed and passed down school books, leaving a legacy of doodles and scribbling in it. I also used to draw comics that my younger sister would read and subsequently embarrass me by showing the drawings to my family, girlfriends and yes, total strangers. And now, at the tender age of 29, I still find myself drawing on my doors, walls and unimaginable places, mostly to pass time. I never could take drawing or doodling seriously because quite frankly people don’t take my drawings and doodles seriously, and I can’t blame them because I’m quite hopeless at it! But alas, I take pride in introducing someone who makes a living out of it: Jon Burgerman.'

Jon Burgerman is a pretty cool guy. I love his work and how he has used simple shapes to make characters with their own unique personalities.
Good choice Laura. ;)
