A vibrant, stylized sculpture of a human face. The sculpture is predominantly red with black outlines, giving it a cartoonish or graphic novel-like appearance. The face has large, expressive eyes with long eyelashes, a small nose, and a smiling mouth. The hair is depicted as flowing and wavy, extending downwards. There is also a distinctive black bow with white polka dots on the top of the head. The sculpture appears to be made of a shiny, smooth material, possibly glass or plastic.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.

Originally two separate designs that were combined out of experimentation, the end result proved to be iconic and widely recognizable. Derived from street artist Matt Siren's classic two dimensional graphic representation, Ghost Girl comes to life in vinyl form as three dimensional character art.
