About this work
A toy or figurine that appears to be a stylized character. The character has a white face with large blue eyes and a prominent black beard. It is wearing a white knitted hat and a white outfit with black detailing, including straps and buckles. The character also has white gloves and shoes. The overall design is cartoonish and whimsical.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. Farmer Bob is a distinctive art toy character created by South Korean artist Jo Young Woon in 2014. Produced in collaboration with Finding Unicorn (F.UN), Farmer Bob has become a notable figure in the global art toy community, celebrated for his whimsical design and thematic versatility. Farmer Bob is characterized by his round, endearing face, often depicted with a calm or contemplative expression. His design exudes a minimalist yet charming aesthetic, making him easily recognizable among collectors. The character has been featured in various themed series, each presenting Farmer Bob in different imaginative scenarios.
