About this work

A figurine that appears to be a stylized character with a cat-like design. The character has large, pointed ears and is adorned with a headpiece made of colorful autumn leaves in shades of red, orange, and yellow. The face of the character has exaggerated features, including large, expressive eyes and pink makeup around the eyes. The body of the figurine is primarily white with black patterns and designs, including intricate leaf patterns and swirls. The character is standing upright with its arms slightly bent at the elbows. The overall design is artistic and whimsical, blending elements of nature with a playful, cartoonish aesthetic.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.
