Chris Sammons is a graphic designer specializing in branding, illustration, and character creation.

Chris serves as the graphic designer and illustrator for a brewery in Denver, CO. Outside work, Chris pursues creative projects in digital mediums as well as acrylics, 3D, spray paint, and Sharpie. He has collaborated with other artists such as Chris RWK, Dinkc, Nite Owl, RXSkulls, El Toro, Sleep is Famous, Ngaew Ngaew, Ricardo Lara Art, 5th Turtle, ZeroPro, MCA, Urban Ninja, Black Daze, City Kitty and Empty Cans NYC. Most notably, Chris goes by the artist name Dokebi. Inspired by Korean folklore, Chris revamped the mischievous goblin for a more urban, street art vibe. He showcased his creature at the 2019 Five Points Festival, America's premiere Designer Toy festival. Dokebi has also appeared in beer label competitions for Pabst Blue Ribbon, as tattoos on various Instagram followers, and in stickers that dot the streets of cities across the world. In 2020, Chris and Strangecat Toys released Puck the Little Painter; the first ever Dokebi vinyl toy. A year later they released Best Friends; a Calvin & Hobbes inspired vinyl toy in collaboration with Chris RWK.
