About this work
A whimsical figurine of an animal that resembles a raccoon. The raccoon is wearing a red hat with a yellow sun emblem on it. Around its neck, it has a red scarf with a yellow star. The figurine has a playful expression and is holding a small green object in its left hand. The overall design is cartoonish and charming.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.
