Dingus Bro yea you obviously don’t understand the sarcasm. He was offered 60k cash for the Facebook headquarter murals or stock options. He took the stock options and years later when it went public, his stocks that he kept were worth more than 200mil. Apparently if he had kept all of the stocks zuckerberg gave him it was estimated around 950mil.
He's got talent 100% don't get me wrong and i can appreciate his art but this is hilarious, it seems like he got paid out the ass to destroy that building hahaha
@@nychris2258 ...He chooses when to be rough and childlike in his art. I mean, he is a tagger with some verve and style - it is graffiti "art" is it not? But, His mural in that dudes hairdressers is quite spectacular.

It's easy not to "sell out" and work to support yourself when your parents still support you. David Choe is the man, it's awesome he has been successful in doing what he loves.
i like that someones doodles are appreciated. i remember growing up hiding my sketches in my notebook because everyone at school thought i was a weirdo... which i am tbh
He also has a photographic memory and can draw classically with the best. He just prefers to doodle and fuck around because it’s the fastest and most productive way for him to leave his mark 👍
None of you realized the “Point” of this video. This is the video where he was paid 60k and instead took it in FB stocks before it became public. The 60k turned into 200million dollars. So what he did in this video, he made over 200million dollars… absolutely mind blowing
well this was just the start. look up the finished work, he goes back over everything and shades/colors, adds more detail, etc. youre basically just watching him throw down a rough draft of everything
He's got skill. But he fucked up on the first doodle. That last line he painted looks retarded and out of place. And I'm not usually someone to knitpik art but that last line was bothering me. It ruined it imo
Oh yeah that makes sense I agree with you there, but Choe isn't one of those people so there is no reason to call him a clown. All he did was his own art and got paid for it, and there is nothing wrong with that. We know most people are sheep but to be honest, even that doesn't bother me anymore, because no matter how much you hate everything around you can always improve yourself so I just work on that aspect of my life. I personally just prefer to show respect to people if I like their work.
that was for painting the original facebook headquarters years ago when it was still a young startup. that's how his stock ended up being so valuable. this is the new office.
@@hunterburran4542he took his pay ($60,000) for the art in stock and then held most until it went public, when it went public it was worth $200mil. He was a heavy gambler at the time, and that gamble paid off
Rogan showed his true colors... By being all hearts and rainbows at the beginning of the podcast. Sweet and sensitive. Cut to the very end of the podcast... It became awkward and ice cold. If Rogan was really that cool... He could have handled that one minute differently and or edited it.
You just need to stop worrying about what other people are doing. If you don't like what Choe does with his art and talents don't support it. If you know about Choe's life then you can see his passion in his art. This a guy who when in prison would punch himself in the face to start bleeding so he could use his blood for paint. He worked everyday of his life to become an artist and he became successful at it, so in my opinion he earned every right to paint whatever art he wants.
I have a friend who really wants to be a successful musician. He works every day at it, he does nothing else, but sadly, he is still shit. His desire doesn't entitle him to success.
I actually like his art, it’s pretty much how the current art style is for like majority of the adult swim shows. Dude was like 15 to 20 years ahead of the trends and why I can see why people would consider him a genius with his craft

Why do you need to know the artist to judge the art? do you have to have an intriguing, cool background to make good art? Do you judge music by the clothes the artist wears?
An accounting at present date: Each of Choe's footsteps w/in FB offices valued at USD $22.3M. Each Spray can used by Choe valued at: 11.06M. Choes Black Pants & T-Shirt: 55M & 47M respectively...
You can see some of Choe's painting in the movie "the social network". Also I remember reading about how choe met zuckerberg before he became huge in a issue of Juxtapoz. Cool stuff.
why do so many of you think it ends with the outlines? youre just watching him throw down rough outlines and assuming thats it? just look up the finished work... you actually think he just walked around with a single black spray can, doodled a bit, and dipped out? lmao what
This is the first time i've ever seen this video, and a lot of people are talking about it in the comments. Can someone fill me in on the context, if they feel like it? Many thanks in advance!
This video is the definition of “Right time right place”
And of course right decision he took
I wonder if the graffitis are still there
So random to see you mud . 11 yera old vid haha
Oh yes
He said he had money before he took the stock and this job. I don't think he had as much but he was already doing pretty well for himself.
he is trolling around and trying to find something fun and amusing and he got paid for it. felicitation bro. you are living the life.
Ya he’s just doing some shitty faces and shit lmao. Easy money

David Choe is a great artist and individual; one of my favorite artist. This is more like his fucking around work
If you don’t know. David was paid in Facebook stocks for doing this paint job. It’s now worth over 200M.
you know you are doing something right as an artist when you got assistants who can do the job.
Or other artists
well theres a very fine line between art and scam
Lmao bruh it’s a huge ass space why not invite some friends
His assistants can do troll art with spray cans... They can't do any of the famous Choe pieces. 1 of 1, David Choe.
@@JellyMelodies he made almost 300 million for spray painting the offices. Due to him taking facebook stock instead of the 60k they offered.
Unexpected ASMR: spray can sounds and shuffling of Choe’s footsteps was surprisingly soothing
I thought the same thing
Lol imagine being the other artists on this project who took the 60k instead of getting the stocks, lol
they lost out on 199,040,000$
199,940,000$

See him think
As he’s working
That shits so tight
i now understand why ai art took off.
id be pissed if i came to my office and some 4 year old had halfassed some doodlles through the halls
After all the years if listening to dvdasa and all the interviews I'm surprised and somehow not at all surprised to learn he's a lefty
Apparently he had the choice of Facebook stock or 60k cash as payment. He chose Facebook stock, that ended up being worth over 200 million. Amazing

Dude got paid millions in stock to make the place look abandoned
It's like he isn't trying....
i think it was 60,000, or stock shares of the company, and he decided to take the shares over the 60k
cool I saw you working here in Stavanger... looks fun to do that thing you do
I wonder how long they kept that crap up for
To this day this is the longest he ever went without shooting smack in his eyeball and raping somebody.
Watched this video, then you recommend the one where he is worth 200million
no cause it would have taken banksy 23 weeks to think of something poltically or socially relevant enough to turn into a shitty ass stencil
Thatll be a hundred million dollars please.
