Tigris & Swallows

A figurine that appears to be inspired by traditional Japanese dolls, specifically a Kokeshi doll. The figurine has a distinct design with a large, black hairstyle that is swept to one side. On top of the head, there is a pink, onion-like structure. The doll has large, expressive eyes and a neutral facial expression. The attire consists of a kimono with a floral pattern, predominantly featuring red and white flowers. The kimono also has some dark elements, possibly representing traditional Japanese motifs. The figurine stands on a white base with small, detailed feet.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.
