About this work
A toy figure that appears to be a robot or cyborg. The figure is predominantly white with black detailing. It has a large, angular head with a prominent visor and a menacing facial expression, including sharp teeth. The figure's body is robust, with visible mechanical parts and armor plating. There are also some symbols and designs on its chest and arms. The figure stands on two legs and has a somewhat blocky, mechanical appearance.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.
