The Guardian of Scotland

A toy figure that appears to be a representation of a wrestling character. The figure is dressed in a black and white outfit, with a detailed design on the chest and arms. The character has a muscular build and is holding a large weapon, possibly a bat or club, raised above its head. The figure's facial features include sunglasses and a stern expression. The overall design and attire suggest that this figure is inspired by a professional wrestler.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. http://sketchbot.blogspot.com/ After the huge success of the first Sketchbot Custom Show held this past March at My Plastic Heart NYC, Sketchbot creator Steve Talkowski decided to curate a highly anticipated 2nd show for the West coast designer toy aficionados.
