Monky (born Pedro Tolomeo Rojas Meza, 1962 and also referred to as Pedro Tolodeo) is a self-taught Peruvian graphic artist and pioneer of the chicha poster movement. His street posters, printed in bright fluorescent inks and pasted on walls across Lima, are associated with the chicha music genre. His visual style, developed during the 1970s and 1980s using hand-drawn lettering and screen printing, defined the chicha poster aesthetic.
