About this work

A toy or figurine that appears to be a character with a unique design. The character has a large, round head with goggles that have a blue frame. The goggles are adorned with some decorative elements. The character's head also has a blue, wing-like structure extending from the top. The body of the character is dressed in a jacket with intricate patterns and designs, including what looks like a floral motif. The character is wearing boots, and the overall design gives off a steampunk or cyberpunk vibe.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. Established in 2017, Sank Toys Limited is a high-end collectible brand, devoted to designing, developing and producing high quality collectibles .China-based Sank Toys was started with a simple core mission: “to create interesting and thought-provoking toys.” Sank Toys has several exclusive product series of original toys and figures. These include Sank the Child, Cube Creatures and Freak Kids. Self-produced art toys are designer collectibles created and manufactured independently by the artist or small teams without the backing of a large toy company or mass-market brand. These toys are often highly personal, artistic expressions and are usually made in limited runs. Key Characteristics include independent creation where the artist is in control of the entire process from concept, sculpting, and painting to production and packaging. These are usually made in small batches, often 10–100 pieces, which adds to their rarity, made using materials like resin, sofubi (Japanese soft vinyl), or 3D-printed components. Little Sank is a signature art toy series created by Sank Toys, a designer toy brand founded by artist Shaun Guo (Huiyang Guo). The series features a distinctive character known for its vintage deep-sea diving helmet paired with a youthful, childlike body, symbolizing themes of exploration and nostalgia. Collaborations with other artists have also led to unique interpretations of Little Sank. For instance, the Ngui Edition was created in partnership with artist Pang Ngaew Ngaew, blending their distinctive styles to produce a pastel-colored, whimsical version of the character. Each Little Sank figure embodies Sank Toys’ commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and imaginative design, resonating with collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide
