My second featured artist is Jon Burgerman. Jon is a British artist and illustrator whose work you will find in games, toys, galleries, and even IKEA stores.
I had the opportunity to meet Jon at one of his art shows in Brooklyn. He was playing in a hilarious music duo called Anxieteam. I’m stoked to be able to have his art featured on my website! I decided to ask Jon the same questions I asked my featured artist last month, and here are his answers.
What are five words you would use to describe your style?
“Wibberly, wobblerly, loopy, swoopy, colourful”
What, or who are your influences for your illustration style?
“Spaghetti and peas and mustard out of a squeezy bottle.”
What are your thoughts on the merging of web design and illustration?
“In the end everything will merge into one giant rubber band ball of love.”
Do you have any insight you’d like to share about your process of creating the artwork you did for Sushi & Robots?
“I drew a picture and coloured it in on the computer.”
If you like sushi, what’s your favorite?
“I’m a vegetarian so I have to order things with cucumber, avocado etc in it. My favourite roll is currently tempura asparagus.”
If you owned an army of robots, would they be good or evil?
“They would be good at being evil. It’s the only way.”
Jon has a new website for his new brand burger, Burgerplex. He also has an exhibition in Beijing coming up in October and then one at Electric Sheep in Newcastle in November. Finally, check out Jon’s main website.
