I’ve always been the sort of person who buys art which invokes an emotional spark (it is the reason why I have Robert Olley’s Coal, Ships, Fish & Chips on my bedroom wall). I love Lowry but that’s only because of the childhood sentiments. I suppose the point I’m trying to raise is that I’ve never bought art farty stuff because I like it, but this could soon change.

The work of Jon Burgerman interests me, I’ve often wondered about wasting a few quid on buying a piece of his work. So today I asked myself why? why do I like it? I seriously can’t say! Rationally it doesn’t make sense, it certainly doesn’t go with my décor, or do I have an emotional connection, I just, well, like it. People say your décor defines you, maybe having one piece of his work on one wall in my house would define me? – Look at his work, you’ll understand or maybe you wont, maybe your not meant too?

Jon I’m just waiting on the correct piece now.

UPDATE : Just as I finished this post, I found this;

By Jon Burgerman this wallpaper is actually a colouring book. This wallpaper can be filled with your own colours as you can see in the picture, so what was I saying about my own décor? This reminds me of what Randy Pausch said about letting your children draw on their walls, I couldn’t see any children that wouldn’t be intrigued with this;

The wallpaper is available now from this store in East Sussex at £40.00 per roll.
