About this work
A whimsical, cartoonish character that appears to be a large, white, inflatable object with a face. The character has a round body with a segmented texture, resembling armor or scales. It has two prominent, pointed ears on top and a pair of eyes with thick, dark lashes. The character's facial expression is playful, with a wide, smiling mouth showing teeth. The overall design is monochromatic, with black outlines and shading against a white background.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.
