Lunar Futurist

A whimsical, anthropomorphic character that resembles a crab. The character has a large, crescent-shaped head with a smiling face. Its body is adorned with multiple sharp, spiky protrusions, giving it a somewhat intimidating yet playful appearance. The character's body features intricate designs, including a prominent circular emblem with a heart-like shape at its center. The overall color scheme is predominantly white with some blue and red accents.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. "Reveries" sees a new chapter in the artists work. Using only his own sculptures and figures, he explores the theme of nostalgia; presented by surreal characters and scenes, each depicting as well as subverting classic art tropes. Influences on this selection of work includes history, fine art and colonialism, as well as looking at identity.
