Good Wives and Warriors

We are Good Wives and Warriors. GWAW is the creative partnership of Becky Bolton and Louise Chappell, who met while studying at the 
Glasgow School of Art. Rebecca means ‘good wife’ and Louise means ‘warrior’, and together they create weird and wonderful illustrations and sprawl-
ing wall paintings. We have participated in exhibitions in Europe, the USA, South America and Australia, and we continue to work on illustrations using 
our experimental collaborative approach. They are currently based in London.

Jon Burgerman http://jonburgerman.com/

  
Jon Burgerman makes vibrant, neo primitive scrawls of shapes and colour. Jon Burgerman has pushed his monster-like characters into compositions where cartoon-like forms are crammed on top of each until they create a screaming mass of energy. Intensely prolific, Jon Burgerman has pushed the character obsession of the late 90s into a far more interesting and strong direction. Think Walt Disney at an Incan monument on mescaline.

  Jon Burgerman has built a strong reputation through his unique and colourful artworks of swooping, intertwining lines and hyper-emotional characters. Working across a variety of media that includes drawing, painting, print, animation, large scale murals and toy design, Jon Burgerman art retains a hand-made, hand-drawn quality. A sense of British self-deprecation, dry humour and modern-day anxiety imbues his work along with an enthusiasm for salads.
