[hoyitsjoe]

anyone know the name of the first song playing?

[KQEDondemand]

@hoyitsjoe Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to research this since it's from 2004. But we think it's either a song from the Fingerbangerz CD, "VI-R-US" or a song from the Skrunchface Projects CD, "3 Headed Monster."

I am so inspired.

Goes to show how much david doesnt give a fuck. I don't know if youve noticed but believing in and/or loving God is the most uncool thing in the skate/street art world right now, this dude knows that and makes his own decisions, Being a Christian won't hold him back. Hes an incredible artist!

Homie carved a cross into his chest. That's either serious dedication or a symptom of serious mental malady. Either way, it's fucking hardcore.

Most hardcore badass artist iv ever seen.

@kwakedesigns Uh, actually without Barron Storey David Choe's work wouldn't look the way it does now.

"Nobody draws better than Barron. Not you, not your little sister, your architect dad, not your rebellious ex-boyfriend who draws with his own blood, not the most talented kid at your art school. Not your favorite artist in the whole world; I've seen the work with my own eyes. Nobody draws better than The Barron."

--- David Choe

So yeah, he's not just some random gallery yuppie.

What an awesome testament of God working on his life. Beautiful artwork, very spontaneous and organic...
