From Hello Duudle to Gribba Grub, when Jon Burgerman does a book, he does it up in style. Now available from IdN (the folks who published Jeremyville’s Vinyl Will Kill and Sessions, and always pair their top notch tomes with awesome extras) is Jon’s epic doodletacular Pens Are My Friends. For the first time ever Jon Burgerman’s commercial, personal and collaborative works are collected together in one lavish publication. Included amongst the many projects are toys, clothing, exhibitions, murals, customizations, sketches and even a sick bag–which is part of this blogger’s personal JB collection. Accompanying the hundreds of pages of brain melting doodles, drawings, characters and colors are essays by the Pictoplasma team and editor of Modart Magazine, insights into Jon’s working process and, of course, photos of salads. Pens Are My Friends also includes a DVD packed full of animated goodies, documentary stuff and things to beautify your computer; a poster; a mini-sketchbook and a couple of fold-outs. The price is $55 straight from IdN here–a bargain for all those doodles, but shipping is kind of a chafe at $25. I can’t wait to get this and neither should you, but if anyone has info on other distributors (Amazon, etc.), please post!
