About this work

A toy figure that appears to be a stylized representation of a character. The figure has a bald head with prominent facial features, including thick eyebrows, a mustache, and a beard. The figure is wearing a black outfit with white detailing, including a belt with a buckle. The toy has tattoos on its arms, and the word "unabomber" is printed on its shirt. The figure stands upright with a confident posture.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. It’s been nearly 2 years in the making, but we are finally here. 30 UK Artists and Designers have taken the 8” blank DIY platform toy “Qee”, and used it to express what “Heavy Metal” means to them. The finished pieces are ready and will be displayed for 1 week at the Forbidden Planet Megastore in London. The show starts on the 12th of April and runs through till the 19th. Come down and take a look at these amazing creations. To go with the show I have produced a 64 page book. The book has a spread dedicated to each artists creation, with full colour photographs, and information about the artist and their masterpiece. The books will go on sale in-store at Forbidden Planet, and online at fugi.me from the 12th of April, for just £14.99 each. On the 19th of April at 6pm, there will be a meet the artists session at Forbidden Planet. The majority of the artists involved in the project will be on hand to talk to you about their creations, sign your show book, and maybe if your lucky doodle on your own blank qee. Of course there will be the usual free badges, cake, and
