Via ABC News: “David Choe, the 35-year-old muralist who made an estimated $200 million in the Facebook IPO, is bothered by the hype surrounding his newfound money. [...] ‘It’s gonna sound horrible for me to say money is meaningless,’ he said. ‘But everyone’s like: What are you gonna do now, now that you have all this money and freedom? I did everything I wanted to when I had nothing. Everyone’s like: Well, what are you gonna do now? I’m like, I’m still gonna do whatever I want except more people are just gonna bother me now.’” Because he’s an artist in turmoil, you see. An artist in turmoil worth $200 million.

Maybe he’s full of it but I believe Mr. Choe. You should check out “Dirty Hands” doc, which chronicles his rather deranged rise from graffiti misfit to sought after artist. Mr. Choe really did whatever the fuck he wanted to when he was a poor nobody, so I’d imagine he would keep doing the same thing as a rich somebody.

Sweet. Mr. Choe found zen before he found dough, hope he stays zen as he says he intends to/already is.
