Jon Burgerman is a British artist and illustrator.

[edit] Life and work

John Burgerman studied art foundation in Bournville, Birmingham and then Fine Art at Nottingham University.

His work is hand-drawn characters. He said, "Even though it's often scanned into the computer I don't want it looking too clean and 'photoshoped'." The characters are often linked together in one seemingly connected line.

He has worked on commercial projects. He is best known for his race track on Sony's WipEout Pure PlayStation Portable video game and his books Hello Duudle, made with Danish artist Sune Ehlers. He has also produced designs for exhibition at the Science Museum in London, including the Game On exhibition (2006-2007), and an exhibition about the Large Hadron Collider.

His influences range from art shows to computer games, Saturday morning cartoons, and adverts to sweet wrappers and root vegetables.
