Jon Burgerman

Jon Burgerman is an artist from Nottingham, he studied Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University. He has worked for clients such as Puma and has his own range of toys, colour-in wallpaper and much more. Jon produces his work using pens and creates little characters with bold black lines which he later adds colour to, the style of his work reminds me of graffiti.
I do like Jon’s work but what I liked most about him was that when he came to give a guest lecture he just seemed like a normal person, he wasn’t big headed or arrogant about how successful he has been with his work. He was very easy to communicate with and was also very funny. I really enjoyed the talk that he gave.
Before he left he did some of his artwork on one of the walls in one of the college classrooms.
