Dedicated toy collector, entrepreneur and all-round Mr. Nice - Dan Perry (aka jazzydan) is launching a new print company going by the name of Fugi.me (Fine Underground Images) specialising in the highest quality limited run lithographic prints.

Dan is quality obsessed so I know with complete confidence that the final product for these will be suberb! The prints are launching with editions from myself and my good friends the Triclops boys (blogclops.blogspot.com)

Really excited about the release - I'm really proud of my print for this! Here's the URL;-

Only 2 days to go until the launch!!

Last nights Fatcap launch event at Kidrobot London went down with a splash! I got there a little before six and a queue was already forming outside the door, said hello to some familiar faces and met some new ones before I dived inside the store to get out of the cold.
By the time the doors were opened there was quite a crowd, who formed a very orderly queue. I was standing around near the tills and was quite taken aback by how many people were buying full cases!

The place filed up in no time with people chatting away, opening their boxes, comparing and swapping their pulls. I got to talk to so many people I know online - putting faces to names as well as catching up with a lot of old friends too. My orange Fatcap was common enough for quite a few people to pull them as well as several of my rarer B&W Cosmonaut chases which I was asked to sign. Massive ego boost!!!

Thanks so much to everybody who made the effort to come down and to those who dropped by just to see me - greatly appreciated!!
Can't wait for the next one now!
Thanks,

See how I sneaked on the TeddyTroop initials into the name there?
Not impressed? Hopefully the custom itself is a bit more impressive...

It's Boba FeTT, everyone's favourite Mandalorian Sarlacc snack on a 10" TeddyTrooper platform. This guy took me an incredibly long time to complete and features some sculpting over his face to make the infamous T-shaped visor for Fett's helmet.

Hope you like him, and there's a couple of extra larger shots at flickr.com/photos/jonpaulkaiser if you want to check out the details.
Thanks!

...according to Creativepool's blog, and I'm quite shocked (and very, very flattered) to find that I'm on the list amongst some of my hero's and the big hitters of the scene!

The totally fictional 2012 jonpaulkaiser lookbook has now been revealed! Featuring apparel designs from the JPK brand as well as the offshoot 'Dauntless' range of sports equipment. A mythical theme runs through the lookbook; from the legendary creatures to the fact that the range doesn't actually exist.

Just a nice opportunity & excuse to get some illustrations done and posted up in a nice fashion.

Spring 2012 with the Audacious Loxodonta.

Summer 2012 with a young Neptune, God of the Sea.

Autumn/Fall 2012 with bovine rap mogul Das Ox.

...and Winter 2012 with Wayhab the Captain.

Hope you like them!

Stephane from New York based gallery & toy store Yoyamart posted this picture up on Facebook last night, showing off the MASSIVE 36" JPK Qee he now has. With him standing behind the monstrously proportioned figure you really get a sense of the huge scale of the piece!

Yoyamart hosted the NYC♥QEE event last year which was really successful and when I get back over to NY this year, I'll definitely be swinging by the gallery (it's also near the Highline Park which is great!)
Thanks!

Boba Fett. 10" Teddy Troop... This is possibly the tubbiest Bounty Hunter you've ever seen...

I use the word 'launches' as my inclusion in the series is an Astronaut figure.
Here's a freshly stolen photo taken my the great people at MyPlasticHeart (thanks to Mark for the link)

Cannot wait!!

Inspired by my 36" Qee design, this recently completed 3" Dunny custom bears the hallmarks of a Maori Warrior with burning red tattoos marking him as a fire warrior- swift and aggressive when roused.

Thanks!

The once-noble Captain has landed! Toy2R have been developing this guy with me for quite some time, making sure we get everything right, and I am more than pleased with the result! The interpretation from my designs up to the finished figure is flawless! Kevin at Toy2R was with me the whole way, making sure that I spoke up if there was anything I wasn't 100% happy with and the result shows that all too well.

Now I cannot wait to get my hands on him!
Hope you like him as much as I do,
Thanks!
