Jon Burgerman

Jon was born on the 8th of August 1979 in Nottingham, he studied foundation art at Bournville and Birmingham and then went on to do fine art at Nottingham trent. 
I really Enjoyed Jon burgermans lecture because he was funny and had a lot interesting things to show us, he told us all about the work he had done for the PlayStation game Wipout pure. 
He also told us about on exhibition he did where he made a laboratory where people filled in a few questions on a questionnaire posted it though a ''letter box'' on the cardboard lab and then drew them a picture depending on there answers and posted it back to them with in a few minutes, I personally thought this was a very clever and different way to set up an exhibition.  

Burgerman has done a lot of collaboration work with many world wide companies such as Nike and Pepsi, he even made an iPhone/iPod application called Inkstrumental. he also has a D.I.Y wall paper that comes with felt tip pens, the paper comes with all these drawing on and you have to colour it in as you choose to create your personalized wall paper. 

He told about a project him and his friend from New York did, on the opening night of his exhibition they both drew and painted on the wall at the same time with drawings if each others faces draw by each other on the back of there heads. He also told us that him and the same friend are going into making music.
