Revok (born 1977 in Riverside, California) birth name Jason Williams is an American graffiti artist. The name comes from the movie Scanners by David Cronenberg.[citation needed]

In 2012 Revok started the Detroit Beautification Project.[citation needed]

In 2018 Revok filed a cease-and-desist letter to H&M clothing retailer, claim that the company infringed on his artwork, using it in one of their brand logos. H&M in turn, sued Revok asserting he could not claim copyright on art work created illegally (street art/graffiti). The issue was settled in Revok's favor.[1][2][3]
