About this work
A detailed and stylized toy or figurine that resembles a skeletal creature. The figure has a prominent skull with a menacing expression, complete with exposed teeth and eye sockets. The skull is adorned with red paint, giving the appearance of blood. The body of the figure is muscular and is depicted with a skeletal structure, with visible ribs and muscle definition. The figure stands upright on two legs, with one arm raised and the other resting by its side. The overall design is intricate, with a mix of black and white colors, and some red accents.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.
