About this work
A whimsical, cartoonish character that resembles a shark. The shark has a rounded body with a broad, smiling face and large, expressive eyes. It has detailed tattoos on its body, including floral designs and what appears to be a skull. The shark is standing upright on two legs, giving it a playful and anthropomorphic appearance. The overall design is colorful and vibrant, with a mix of white, black, and red hues.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.
