About this work
A whimsical, cartoonish character that appears to be a hybrid of a cat and a frog. The character has a round body with a wide, smiling face featuring prominent eyes and a mustache. It has four legs, with two of them appearing to be in a raised or jumping position. The character has a playful and animated expression, giving it a friendly and endearing appearance.Born into the greyness of England at the end of the Seventies, by the age of four Jon-Paul Kaiser knew that what he wanted to do in life was a draw. From that point he rarely strayed from that path; scribbling and doodling his way through School, College and University. After working with Porlzilla, Jon-Paul decided to go it alone concentrating at first on the toy customization scene, building up a name and strong reputation for himself with his stark Black & White custom style, influenced by comic book art, film noir & Ukiyo-e prints. This lead to him being approached by established toy producers for designs for their platform toys. Principally amongst these are Toy2R who have released numerous JPK Platforms. Vinyl Artist Gacha (VAG) is a collectible vinyl toy series produced by Medicom Toy, featuring small-scale, capsule-style figures designed by renowned independent artists and toy designers from around the world. The VAG series is inspired by Japan’s gachapon (capsule toy) culture, offering highly detailed, affordable, and limited-edition mini figures that make designer toys more accessible to collectors. Each VAG series showcases a curated lineup of artists, often featuring original characters or miniature versions of their larger, more expensive vinyl art toys.
