About this work
A toy figure that appears to be a pirate. The figure is wearing a tricorn hat with a skull and crossbones symbol on it. The face of the figure is a skull, and it has a detailed beard. The figure is dressed in a striped shirt and has tattoos on its arms. It is holding a hook in one hand.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. Pirate Captain, aka Captain Stūrnbrau. Scourge of the Captain of the dreaded floating hulk; The Whispering Corsair. For time immemorable, land-lubbers and sailors alike dare not speak the ship's true name which slipped past memory and into legend. For centuries the Captain had plied the oceans voyaging into new and undiscovered lands. They disappear for years at a time, only for stories to reach civilization of raids on settlements and pitiless attacks on ships. No-one knows what dark sorcery keeps Captain Stūrnbrau and his unholy crew alive, only that they strive to fathom the answers to questions they have long forgotten...
