About this work
A figurine of a character that appears to be a clown. The clown has a distinctive appearance with a large, round head, exaggerated facial features, and a wide, smiling mouth with sharp teeth. The character has black hair styled in a pompadour. The clown is wearing a dark jacket with red stitching and has tattoos on its arms. The figurine stands on two legs and has a robust, rounded body. The overall design is quite detailed and has a somewhat eerie or unsettling 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.
