Zen Awakening

A black and white illustration of a character that appears to be a bear with a human-like face. The bear has a somewhat serious or contemplative expression. The character is holding a long object, possibly a stick or a rod, with both hands. The bear's posture is upright, and it seems to be gripping the object tightly. There is also a small tag or label attached to the right side of the bear.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.
