DOK was one of the first people with whom I traded in this sticker community. He works quickly and sends out many packs worldwide. He is a dedicated individual in this community. Here is Dok's story.

You are a driller when it comes to making starters. How did you actually come up with your character?

My character originated from my work in graffiti. Freestyling characters and letters is what I do. My character is not based on anything; it was literally a freestyle character that I painted. My character represents purely me and is based solely on my own fantasy, originating from my graffiti background (freestyle art).

When did you join the sticker community and why?

I was introduced to the 228 sticker community and was found by Vandal Scrump. I had always been impressed with the art and collaborations within the 228 community. One day, Vandal Scrump came across a character I painted and decided to feature it on a 228 sticker for me. I had been following the 228 collabs for a while, and when I saw what he had done with my character and how it looked on a 228 sticker, I was completely sold. Vandal Scrump showed me everything and has been mentoring me to this day. He discovered me, and as he always says himself, "I created a monster." I wouldn't be the collaborator I am today without him.

Does your art have a deeper meaning to you?

Art is my life. Art is my therapy. Art is in my blood. I am a walking piece of art.

What do you like most about what you do?

Having the chance and opportunity to create small pieces of art with super talented artists from all over the world.

What markers do you use? And why?

I use paint markers and alcohol-based markers. In principle, I use all types of markers depending on the style of the collaboration. The collab often determines the type of markers that will be used.

Is there anything else you would like to say?

I would like to thank the community, especially Vandal Scrump. Thank you to my entire team and all supporters. Thanks to all the artists I've had the pleasure of working with so far. I am a 228 collaborator, and together we make it happen. One team.
