Daniel Militonian, known as Dunkees, hails from Moscow, Russia, and moved to the United States at age nine. Initially inclined towards computer animation, he switched to full-time artistry after selling his work at Venice Beach. Dunkees is celebrated for his unique psychedelic take on popular cartoons and cultural icons, blending them into creative art pieces. He has ventured into the cannabis industry, using his distinctive art to craft unique smoking accessories like butane dab torches, rolling trays, and more. Now owning two galleries, Dunkees often paints live at his Venice Beach location. CaliConnected proudly retails Dunkees' creations.
