9-What do you dream about?\u00a0 <\/strong>Do you mean when I\u2019m asleep or when I\u2019m awake?<\/p>\nBeing stabbed<\/p>\n
My teeth falling out<\/p>\n
My parents telling me I\u2019ve always been their favourite child<\/p>\n
Becoming friends with Paul McCartney<\/p>\n
These are a mix of the two.<\/p>\n
10-Do you have a routine when you arrive in your studio?\u00a0 <\/strong>I have a good sit down. Then I stroke my face a little whilst looking at what I\u2019ve made the previous day.\u00a0 Then I gently sob for a bit.\u00a0 Eventually I manage to rouse myself to do some actual work whilst berating myself for not starting earlier.<\/p>\n11-Do you listen to music or prefer to work in silence?\u00a0 <\/strong>I have to listen to music all the time (to drown out the voices of self doubt)\u00a0and to dance to!<\/p>\n12- How do you decide when a painting is complete?\u00a0 <\/strong>When my desire to give up is stronger than my embarrassment would be should anyone see the painting at that point.\u00a0 Once I pass that threshold I guess the painting is done.<\/p>\n13-Do you work on one canvas at a time or multiple?\u00a0 <\/strong>I work on one but leave it around for when I work on the next few canvases. Once I\u2019ve finished some others I might go back and tweak that first one. I always have a few bouncing around at the same time.<\/p>\n14-Do you have a place\/person\/thing that you visit for inspiration?\u00a0 <\/strong>Libraries and book shops.<\/p>\n15-If you could have dinner with three artists, living or dead who would be at your table?\u00a0 <\/strong>I\u2019d make a cold buffet for DuBuffet\u00a0and I\u2019d also invite Oldenburg for some olden style burgers and Keith Haring for some chopped herring.<\/p>\n16-Name three things you can\u2019t live without in your studio?\u00a0 <\/strong>Music, music and music.<\/p>\nI can\u2019t paint without something good playing. Similarly I can\u2019t paint if something bad is playing. I was at a life drawing event a few weeks ago and I absolutely couldn\u2019t stand their playlist. It made drawing difficult for me. Next time – headphones!<\/p>\n
17-If you were asking the questions what question would you ask and please answer the question.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nQuestion: Jon, would you like a cup of tea?\u00a0 Answer: yes please.<\/p>\n
Bonus answer: Perhaps with some lemon cake?<\/p>\n
Fail! That bonus answer was actually a question. Doh.<\/p>\n
18-How would someone find you on Social media?\u00a0 <\/strong>Search my name (Jon Burgerman), simple.<\/p>\n19-Please name the first thing that comes to your mind while reading the following:<\/strong><\/p>\nArt= fart<\/strong><\/p>\nFood=now<\/strong><\/p>\nSports=spurs\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nPolitics=weep<\/strong><\/p>\nPoor=grey<\/strong><\/p>\nGod=beard<\/strong><\/p>\nRich=tea biscuit\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nLuxury=watch, yacht, crotch<\/strong><\/p>\nSex=if only \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nPicasso=striped jumper\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nReligion= Sergio Reguil\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9600,"template":"","categories":[14],"class_list":["post-9595","artists","type-artists","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-painter"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/9595"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artists"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/9595\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9623,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists\/9595\/revisions\/9623"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
