About this work

A figurine that appears to be a stylized character. The character has a white body with black facial features, including eyes and a mustache. It is wearing a brown outfit with a belt tied around its waist. The character has a playful and animated expression, with its arms raised as if in a celebratory or triumphant pose. The overall design is cartoonish and whimsical.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.
