About this Artist
Jon creates vibrant, neo primitive scrawls of shapes and colour. He’s pushed his monster-like characters into compositions where cartoon-like forms are crammed on top of each other until they create a screaming mass of energy. Intensely prolific, he has pushed the character obsession of the late 90s back into fashion and to another level. Working across a variety of mediums that includes drawing, painting, print, animation, large scale murals and toy design, his art retains a hand-made, hand-drawn quality. A sense of British self-deprecation, dry humour and modern-day anxiety imbues his work. He has exhibited internationally since 2001 and has work in the permanent collections of The Victoria and Albert Museum and The Science Museum in London. He lectures at Universities and presented his work at the prestigious Pictoplasma Character Design Conference (Berlin, 2006). He has received two D&AD Silver award nominations and has worked on many commercial projects for high profile organisations including: Cadbury, Pepsi, MTV, Levis and Rip Curl. In 2011, Jon relocated from Nottingham, UK to Brooklyn, NY. Kenny Wong is a Hong Kong-based designer, illustrator, and toy artist best known for creating Molly, one of the most iconic characters in the designer toy scene. His work blends elements of nostalgia, fashion, and whimsy, often featuring doll-like figures with oversized eyes and expressive, melancholic expressions. His Most Famous Character – Molly is a little girl with a signature pout, large round eyes, and a curious attitude. She was inspired by a real child Wong met at an art exhibition. Wong’s Molly blind box series, produced in partnership with POP MART, has become one of the most successful collectible toy lines, featuring countless themed variations of the character. Beyond Molly, Wong has designed other characters and art toys, often released in limited-edition vinyl and sofubi formats. He has collaborated with brands like Disney, Coca-Cola, and Medicom Toy, as well as artists in the global designer toy community. Kenny Wong’s work has become a cornerstone of Asian designer toys, appealing to art collectors, fashion lovers, and toy enthusiasts who appreciate high-quality craftsmanship and unique storytelling in collectible form. Pop Mart is a Chinese toy company that sells collectible designer toys. The company is known for its "blind box" packaging, which doesn't reveal the toys inside. Pop Mart is a leader in the designer toy market and has been credited with creating the market for designer toys in China.
