Ckaweeks of Hawai'i

Gifted. That's the word I heard the most about CKaweekS. He is one of those people that is good at anything he does. And he does: painting, singing, percussions, swimming, surfing, paddling, jiu jitsu. Recently he did the Waikiki Rough Water Swim, which is about 2.3 mile long open ocean swim. He didn't register or practice. Just showed up and jumped in the ocean. Lucky you live Hawai'i, brah!

CKaweekS. One part of the ingredients that make up the melting pot called Hawai’i. A little bit of surf, a tad bit of reggae music, one part lightsleeper, with a dash of “aaah, lucky I live hea’ brah.” Mix this in a bowl of influences off the street, through nature, and diverse people. Drink it down with a smooth glass of green bottled beer and you won’t get a taste but a lifestyle. This lifestyle shared in part by others from the art collective Pocket Full Of Monsters. Always changing, always evolving, because to settle on a style creativity stops. And when this stops, the beer goes bad.

That's pretty much it, paint, drink beer and play in the ocean.
