About this work

The image showcases a figurine that appears to be a stylized representation of an elephant. The elephant has a distinct design with a white body and black facial features. It is adorned with a bandana around its neck, which has a pink and black pattern. The figurine also has a black leather-like outfit with silver studs. Additionally, it has a wing-like structure on its back, which is black and white. The overall design gives the figurine a punk or rock-inspired 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. Elfie is an adorable elephant-like art toy created by Too Natthapong, a Thai designer known for his charming and whimsical character designs. Elfie was first introduced through Unbox Industries, a Hong Kong-based art toy producer, and quickly became a beloved figure in the designer toy community. The character is recognized for its round, chubby body, oversized head, large expressive eyes, and short trunk, giving it a playful and endearing aesthetic. Elfie often appears in different colorways and themed editions, including collaborations with brands and artists, making each release a sought-after collectible.
