The character is wearing a hooded outfit that covers most of its body, and the hood has a jagged, torn edge. The figure has a determined or angry expression, with clenched fists, suggesting a sense of readiness or aggression. The overall design is stylized and cartoonish, with exaggerated features.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. Taking place at the Novotel London West. This will see the world of designer toys come to life once again, with products and exhibitors from around the world.

These art toys are not only collectibles but also serve as artistic expressions that invite viewers to explore and reflect upon the narratives they represent.
