How’s it going?

I mess with this hard. When I was accepted into art college I had no money to buy any of the things I needed, so a homie hit me up to help him start a clothing brand. I painted everything for them and they would pay me for it, which helped me afford all my necessities for freshman year. I ended up really getting into it and without realizing it I manifested my career. My senior year of college a clothing company came on campus to recruit which never happened before and I applied and out of like 30 kids I was chosen to fly out to said company and was offered a job and had an 11 year career in the apparel industry working for a lot of very well known companies. This all started from a place of feeling like my art sucks at one point, now I know it doesn't. Appreciate your words sir.

“You don’t believe in it? Cool, do it anyways.” That really is the way forward. If one wants change, to change their mind. Nice.👍

today, I went into a random clothing store in San Francisco to buy a notebook and after bringing it home, i found it that it is a notebook with your painting on it from 2015. You're one of my favorite artists. What a synchronicity!

“express yourself fearlessly and you will become.”

This is the tough love too many people need to hear. If you aren’t striving to FAIL as an artist, then all you’re doing is what you already know how to do. You have to risk things, you have to look stupid, you have to fuck it all up, you have to stop being comfortable or you do not grow, you do not figure it all out. Stop worrying about making “it”, and worry about making good art. You probably are never going to reach the goals you think you want - fame or whatever - you gotta define your own success and just keep working.

God, I needed this. I've been running away from my art, not touching my materials, not drawing anything, not painting anything. For. Twenty. Freaking. Years. Living without it feels like having lost half of myself. Like twins separated at birth, knowing the "other" is somewhere out there, but you can't reach them. The only good thing about it was the fact that my brain couldn't live without the stimulation and looked for other ways to deal with all the crazy creativity. But none of them were truly fulfilling. Only writing short stories came close to the joy I used to feel when drawing. This video came to me at the right time. ❤

I was reflecting on the "my art sucks" feelings just yesterday. I look at my IG feed and my lack of engagement/lack of productivity/lack of consistency and realise it's because I am not being authentic in my creativity. I got trapped with people-pleasing, trying to make work to please an algorithym. It's never worked for me. I started working on a new body of work a couple of weeks ago and BAM! as soon as I tapped into something authentic in the work, I fell in love with it and it flowed. I won't be sharing it with anyone any time soon. I need to be with it and nurture it in solitude for a while yet. I find sharing on social media is a good way to kill my authentic connection to my intuitive creative voice. Great video, thanks for sharing!

Divine and Intertwined, thirty third to click that shit dont matter, forget time and the mad hatter chitter chatter that tends to clash and clatter with what really matters, more paint splatter

A study conducted in the UK found that people with the highest quality of life-defined as being able to pay the bills and also having ample "time" (which should be more important than money)-earned between £26,000 and £40,000 something annually (the exact figures escape me). This makes sense: with too little money, you struggle; with too much, you likely buy more and have less time for family, friends, and most importantly, yourself. You can always make more money, but you can't create more time. If you can do what you love every day, then you have financial success.

i think people instill fear into people when their children because they dont want to be scared alone. Its a vicious cycle.

I often say, "To create, is to choose."

I used to ask myself if I was an artist, I wondered if other people thought I was an artist or if they saw what I did as a hobby. I have to create to survive, without the creation my soul will die. So yes I am an artist, I exist to create and I create to exist. Fuck the selling yourself, art has become 20% creation and 80% marketing, branding, and selling yourself, the best artists out there may be completely unknown.

Paying for your beans while uncompromisingly preserving autonomy is 80% marketing. This is nearly universal. Don't care about autonomy? You don't need to market. If you want art to buy your beans without marketing you can always fill the time between somebody else's key frames. Maybe you buy your beans a different way. I think it's good to endorse compassion for all paths.

I will continue to experiment and explore all options. I really want to start an underground gallery for outsider artists and help foster a supportive artistic community where I live. I want to not just lift myself up but help others also struggling and foster collaboration and networking. So many get pushed into individual struggles and capitalism/social media pushes us to compete, resent, envy rather than support and form collectives. I just hope I can create a path to not only help myself but others and I desperately want a collective, working on it. 🙂

Hey man, i don't know how old you are but I (18M) really think the same way you do. I started to get more in touch with myself and open my view on the world, reading Rick Rubin's book really helped that process. I wanna discover myself while i'm young and use my creativity and energy of my twenies to enjoy the beauty of the world. Curretly i'm in a really intense university cursus but i just stay here for the things we learn that i find really interessting and not the typical things we learn and reflect on in the school system. So while i'm staying there to have greater general culture and knowledge, i think about quitting at the end of next year, to learn music, drawing, designing, cooking, being a monk, sculping, producing.. My parents are very open and completly understand my point of view, but i don't know how will i get to survive (like you nicely said) economically while experiencing the real life we should all get to know more. I can't just keep learning new things in school for free i guess, or spend time with exeprienced people to be submerge by their skills. If you would like to share with me what was your journey, and maybe what you think would be a great track for me to go on (if you get my current way of thinking and wanting to be), it would be a real pleasure :)

I read a book called "Haben oder Sein" (To have or to be) by Erich Fromm. In it he describes the "commodification of human life", likening it to a handbag or an item of trade. He calls us "human handbags", because we have to commodify ourselves to sell who we are and what we have to offer. The book was written in 1976, it's almost 50 years old. And we have perfected self-commodification, it seems. The problem I have is, I cannot be genuine when I have to sell myself. I might as well sell out what I believe in. So my method is: I do what I like. If someone buys it, fine. If not I have to find other ways, which also include doing every other job available to me. Then I commodify the part of my life for money I don't care about, and keep doing what I love without having to sell out. You don't rise to a challenge by lamenting it.

yess!! this 100% if i have give up on creating i have given up on everything

I absolutely LOVE your directness and finally pressed follow everywhere I could find you. I took a leap at the age of 45, and I got stuck for the last 5 years on a stupid hamster wheel of creating for everyone else, for money, for stupid useless popularity… I had surgery in March and I promised to stop that, I don’t need to create for anyone else but me. I promised to create with abandon without fear without external buzzing and whispers. I’m almost 60 and idgaf about all that noise anymore. I have a life that’s amazing kids that love me a husband that is inspiring and supportive. I struggle a bit with chronic pain but here’s the thing- doctors told me I’d be in a wheelchair by age 30 and I ignored that and I’m still standing . So, I have a good life by ignoring the buzz, and now I’m going to continue my art journey the same way. I’m establishing a mindfulness morning ritual, lucid dreaming, creating and living with abandon like I was doing before I let everyone tell me I should be going after fame or money or all that garbage. It’s always nice to hear someone else sort of confirm to be free with my creativity.

This video is affirmation to pursue your dreams relentlessly.

David Choe is BASED af for talking about telepathy & all the other metaphysical concepts that he mentioned. “You don’t believe in it? COOL. Do it anyway.” My STANDING APPLAUSE AND OVATION FOR THIS VIDEO AND SKILLFUL EXECUTION. 😤😤😤😤

You're spitting facts about telepathy and tapping into the infinite divinity of "Self". I have done sooooo much healing work like that and have communicated across time and space with loved ones just by meditating and feeling what comes up. Everyone can tap into that, you just have to fir the mind and live with the heart.

I've been a delusional idealistic artist my whole life but my parents voices inside my head keep telling me it's pointless to go on with this escapist nonsense and to get a job, get my life together, be responsible, etc, etc. It is too noisy with all the harsh voices so thanks for giving me permission to just be a delusional artist and get on with it. How terrible could it really be to just allow myself the indulgence? Thanks for your videos. They are great art-therapy :)

You are giving the perfect advice. It only works when we believe and belief is the battle. Total belief. Like Neville and so many others have taught and now you. No logic, all intuition, and all belief. If you don’t believe, do it anyway. Try. Surrender and be the thing you envision, right now, in this moment and don’t stop. I have been experimenting with telepathy also. It is not instant, but it works with persistence.

I love you bro. I’m a coward and scared and what people will think ! Ha . Yes , surrender is the way. Let go or I will always be stuck . Thank you

This feels so outerspace spiritual and simultaneously down to earth logical. Thank you.

Dude I needed this. My grandfather was a professional oil painter and instructor, he started teaching me when I was 5. He was the biggest role model in my life. He passed away 7 years ago from Alzheimer’s, and I put all my supplies in storage. I couldn’t pick up a brush until a few weeks ago. I was just offered the opportunity to paint and only paint for an entire month. An opportunity most people at 28 don’t get, I can feel my world coming back together. Thank you David Choe for the advice, I’ll take it to heart this month.

Worked my ass off and lost everything because of it. Moved back in with my parents at 34, mad depressive and gave up on “making” it and went back to doing stuff I liked just to past the time and forget about about everything.

No problem with making fearless art, that's the easy peasy delusional state. Remaining fearless when it comes to marketing my non-sucky art is a whole nuther deal. Whether I'm destined to 'starve' or not is beside the point, I am not influenced by the need to please others. I just want to clear some space for more art!

Hey David Really successful artist here, It was nice to meet you. Thankful for your voice and your vision. I don't need anything from you - I already have it.

Fuck bro I needed that intro... I just sent off a press kit to a blog for my label for an artist and everyone i asked to just look over the thing was like why are you wasting your time? this doesnt even make you money. So after I sent it I just had a whole head full of why the fuck am I doing this and then I click on this video. Thank you so much for that. I needed it.

Fabulous, couldn't agree more about talking to plants, babies, animals. I say hi to birds often, I think this is important for a living a complete life.

i think being scared but doing something anyway is courageous. once the courage fades there will be room for another thing. maybe confidence. maybe uncertainty. either way, fear is helpful to orient toward a place in a story i think holding back can be useful. just like a sculpture is a block of marble. every second guess, every doubt, is apart of the discussion of your imaginations expression. it affects your strokes, your force, your attention and uncovers opportunity for meaning and identity. how can you change who you are when you dont know who you are? its more difficult to know because you wont kknow where youre coming from thanks for existing choe. ur a hilarious and inspiring human and i love your art

Some of the best advice I've ever heard. Been familiar with his name for decades, but never gave him time he deserved.

Good video, just found your channel. I watched the Bob Ross video too, I’m two videos in so not sure what other videos are here. Cool to see your process. I’ve sold some art before and even got mentioned by Joe Rogan back in the day on Twitter for making an early JRE piece. Joe said “thanks for making it! Sell as many as you want!” It was a stencil art piece on a canvas frame I made myself. Guess how many I sold? You’d think I’d jump on that right. I sold one, I made one. I didn’t want to pump out decorations. I didn’t concern myself that Joe liked it (I can prove this, sold it on eBay). “Art” is the thing we sell after we do the real art. I draw for 4 hours by a fire, walk away, put the thing up so I can see it, I like it… nice drawing. Then I toss it in the fire. It was never about keeping a bunch of shitty drawings, it was about drawing. Drawing is a good feeling. If you like to swim, you don’t bring the wake you made with you, or sell the wake to Joe Rogan or his fans. You just swim and then it’s over. Don’t get me wrong, I like museums and graffiti and cool art. I post stuff on IG like everyone else. I suck too. I’m gonna go through your channel more, nice to see artistic focused people opening up like this, gives us a place to talk to like minded people maybe.
