About this work
A cartoonish character that appears to be a hybrid of a clown and a prisoner. The character has a large, exaggerated smile with sharp teeth. It is wearing a striped outfit, which resembles a prisoner's uniform, and has a mask covering its eyes. The character also has a bald head with stitches, giving it a Frankenstein-like appearance. It is raising one hand with two fingers forming a "V" sign. The overall style of the character is playful yet eerie.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.
