Conquer Artist Block: Art Tutorial
David Choe delves into the complex and often tumultuous journey of an artist confronting writer's and artist's block. Through a candid and introspective monologue, the creator reveals their struggles with self-expression, fear of disappointment, and the challenges of navigating personal and familial expectations. The video explores themes of vulnerability, the creative process, and the necessity of embracing one's truth, even when it is uncomfortable or unsightly.
True artistic growth often requires confronting and embracing one's deepest fears and insecurities. It is a poignant reminder that creativity is not just about technique but also about personal courage and authenticity.
David Choe is an American artist, musician, and former podcast host from Los Angeles. He has produced his own talk show called The Choe Show on FX Networks, and has appeared on various other shows such a The Joe Rogan Experience, the Rich Roll podcast, and Tiger Belly.

"If you want to be a great artist you're gonna have to disappoint your parents". Stings! I remember my grandmother crying when I told her I dropped out of university to persue my art.

This is the remedy for all the Ali Abdall, Art youtuber biz channels, how to make a successful youtube channel channels, that I fucking always watch. David Choe's vids are such a fucking palette cleanser and reminder of what it's about (for me.) I'm so glad it exists.
Everything in my being tells me to disappoint everyone, drop out of college, move to LA, just me, my wife and our son, and try to pursue music like the ambitious 19 year old wanting to be remembered that I once was. I’m not doing bad, in fact I have a lot of happy moments in my life, but I’d be lying if I said a part of me always feels empty when I don’t get to play music as much as I wish I could. This might not be the exact message of your video, but this was the thought that came instantly into my head after watching.

If you’ve been feeling this way for quite a bit, why not take the chance? Maybe tell your wife how you’re feeling if you haven’t already. Anywho thanks for sharing, makes me feel less alone wanting to completely alter my life in a similar way. :)

Look around where you are now. If you really try, it's likely you could find some other people who feel how you do and perform music together. Start there. Find a way to play, even if it's out of someone's garage or a tiny bar. Then, you'll figure it out from there once you're creating

Hello you person that I have never met. Your comment made me think of something. I think there are more than one way to pursue your dream. I heard someone say that when you mix your dream and money, suddenly everything can potentially go bad. So instead of just playing / painting / whatever, you have to post and make videos and almost get a degree in marketing and business or pay someone else to, and what time is left to just play? Worst of all, you have to play things that are MARKETABLE. So you tend to compromise on your artform because you literally have to put food on the table. I really took this to heart when I heard it. Now I work 7 hours a day at a job that I like 70% of the time, I DO NOT worry about money, go home to my kids (who are teens now), and then I paint whatever. I. want. And it is really really nice. So unless you want fame too, having artistic freedom and just doing what you want may be the right thing for you too. For me just believing I have the right to spend some time doing what I want is the hurdle. And then actually doing it. Those 7 hours that I work are not the hurdle. Okay hope this makes sense.
Chabiscuit is doing a great job drawing with those long eye stalks of his.
Thank you for existing David
Best era of KZread in a long time. David we love you.
I am literally the person in my family who has to put everyone before myself. I needed this video today. Thank you!
Ive never looked forward to uploads as much as I do for whatever this video series is, Dave. Again and again, thank you - For being so real, and sharing your thoughts with us. It really does make such a big difference in my day. Appreciate you 🫶🏻🩷 *crawls into front pouch pocket* - deal.
Good God, what a great channel. The gems of knowledge you share have been so useful. It's like the dam of creativity has opened up and torrents of ideas and motivation are pouring into my mind. The dam was blocked by fear. I'd start things that would be good but I was afraid I'd fuck something up so I have a living room full of half done peices, I'd overthink every move and get stuck. The ole egoic, thinking, analyzing left brain hemisphere mind was fucking my shit up, but now its like my feeling, creative, intuitive, nurturing right hemisphere has become much more activated or something. It goes way beyond just my artwork. It seems to be serving my highest ambition in this lifetime which is the pursuit of christ consciousness or enlightenment. Thankyou, David Choe from the bottom of my heart.
A true fucking inspiration
i hope you know youre the first person i could look up to as a young asian person. Thank u all the time u inspire me always :)
I can't tell you how excited I am watching this I've had paint canvas all of it for months as backup for my youngest niece who just turned 14 does her own anime on here so proud I did a small dumb one but just enjoying the crap I make while in a wheelchair after flying 60ft out the passenger windshield while 4 months pregnant with my son who is also in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy but we live to laugh and I love this thank you so much for the sparks hope you get them in return!

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

Mr. Choe im leaving this comment here because I have no other place to say this and not be shamed and ridiculed for saying it. My hardened hart is dark, there doesn’t seem to be any light. It’s gross, morbid, and at times evil what am I to do with that. It’s seems like there’s this swamp that my heart resides in, it is the monster in the swamp hiding ashamed of who it is.

Dave always emphasizes on conquering your fear. Is there a preparation before you do?
My issue is I just wanna do my thing and it's not for other people or it's not good enough I don't know but it's just not connecting, I'd love to do illustrations, cover art, canvas art, comics ect... but no dice so far
