About this work
A figurine of a character that appears to be a blend of traditional and modern elements. The character has a skull-like face with a red bandana covering the lower half, giving it a distinct, edgy look. The figure is dressed in a black and white outfit with intricate designs, including a corset-like top and a full skirt. The character is holding a small object in one hand, which looks like a grenade or similar item. The overall design combines elements of gothic, punk, and possibly steampunk aesthetics.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.
