Jersey native, Chek Roka was doodling ever since he was running around in diapers with crayolas. It all started off with sketching anything from cartoons to flying cars. Once he reached the early years of high school, he became influenced by some of the local graffiti artists. It wasn't until he met Elan that he became totally immersed in the graffiti art form. His style has changed more than his underwear, but he still likes to keep it simple, light and free-flowing. It is the free-ness and conceptual ways of cartooning that he likes to bring out in his graffiti and illustration. As an artist, he aims to create affordable, yet stylish, custom pieces for the masses on all types of canvas; from walls to model trains, home furnishings, skateboards and anything that can be customized to one's liking.
