A figurine that appears to be a representation of a Buddha. The figurine has a black curly hairstyle and is adorned with traditional markings on its face. It is dressed in a white robe with black patterns. The figurine is seated in a meditative pose with its hands resting on its knees.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. Woot Bear is a distinctive collectible designer toy store and art gallery located in San Francisco, California.
