Jon Burgerman is a British-born, New York-based artist whose work brings together doodling, street art, and joyful rebellion. His instantly recognisable characters—squiggly, colourful, wide-eyed—create worlds where humour and emotion collide.

Artistic Philosophy

At the heart of Burgerman’s practice is play. He believes drawing should be spontaneous, expressive, and accessible. He challenges the seriousness of art, replacing ego with joy and rules with creative mischief.

Signature Work

Whether it’s a giant mural, a digital animation, or a napkin doodle turned into a sticker, Burgerman’s signature is unmistakable. His works, like Burgerworld or his interactive Instagram pieces, are less about perfection and more about presence—they pulse with personality.

Process

Burgerman’s process is immediate and intuitive. He begins with a simple line—then lets the character evolve. No plan, no pressure. Often working in public or digital spaces, he invites his audience to co-create, react, and even remix his art.

Why His Work Matters

In a time of polished pixels and perfectionism, Jon Burgerman offers something raw and radically refreshing. He gives us permission to mess up, to laugh, and to create without fear. His work isn’t just playful—it’s powerfully human.
