Wow, haven't written in this blog for a while, that's bad. I think I will start my new post (of many) with an exhibition I didn't even go to (it was in Berlin) yet saw through images and photos of the event. The exhibition consisted of a collaborative selection of drawings from Jon Burgerman, Ian Stevenson and Andrew Rae:
I think what draws me to the work is the light-hearted nature of the subject matter and the loose, relaxed method with which it is executed. The three illustrator's styles converge seamlessly on a range of materials in mainly ink and marker pens. Bordering on abstraction, there are only characters and motifs that playfully mingle with squiggles, lines and abstract forms which save it from decorative patterns.
I'm becoming really inspired by the playful work of Jon Burgerman right now. You're sure to see more of his stuff written about here soon, for the time being these images should quench your thirst for all things crazy!
