About this work
A character that appears to be a toy or figurine. The character has a distinctive design with a blue and white color scheme. It has a large head with prominent ears, and its facial expression seems to be somewhat menacing with sharp teeth. The character is wearing a blue bow tie and has a tattoo-like design on its chest that depicts a smaller character in a boat amidst waves. The overall design is whimsical yet somewhat 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. Hong Kong-based artist Kasing Lung creator of Zimomo, Labubu and Tycoco characters and others.
