About this work
A statue of a cat with distinct tattoos and a unique appearance. The cat has a large, prominent blue eye and is depicted in a seated position with one paw raised. The tattoos on the cat include various designs such as a yin-yang symbol, a floral pattern, and a traditional Japanese mask. The cat also has a black collar around its neck.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. RealxHead’s Fortune Cat series draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese Maneki Neko, symbolizing good luck and prosperity. These soft vinyl (sofubi) figures are available in various sizes:. Collaborations with artists like Frank Kozik and Ayako Takagi have led to limited editions, featuring unique colorways and designs. For instance, Frank Kozik’s editions include the “Subber” in white and pink, and the “Saigon ’68 Lucky Sexy” in white and orange with glow-in-the-dark features.
