David Choe AMA: Dave and SABER paint the flower shop from David Choe on Vimeo.

This is the time that David Choe teamed up with legendary Los Angeles graffiti artist and political activist Saber, to deflower a flower shop. In the Choe Method, this is called “rite of passage.”

With much anticipation, we are so excited to announce that Sam Flores, designer of our long-running 12Grain line and one of the most talented fine artists we know, will be opening his solo show, Lion and the Lamb, at FIFTY24SF Gallery this December 12, 2012. That’s right, 12/12/12.

 

A little sneak peek from Sam Flores’ upcoming Lion and the Lamb exhibition at FIFTY24SF Gallery, opening 12/12/12.

As you probably know by now, David Choe is kind of famous. That is sort of fun for us, because we remember the Baskin Robbins’ days. We are very excited today to announce a David Choe x Upper Playground special open-edition print release, featuring 4 classic Choe works. “Bangs“, “Choebot“, “Soulscraper“, and “Swamp Virus.”

Each print is 18″ x 24″, open edition, and $9.95.

Here is how David Choe describes it:

“I realize my art has gotten quite unaffordable over the years, and those not in the print game, don’t have the time to hunt down limited editon rare hard to find whatevers, I will now have something for you! I appreciate all the love and support from all of you who care about me and my work over the years that have afforded me the luxury to create whatever I want without HAVING to suck dick in dark alleyways, now me WANTING to do that, is a whole other story. I will be making posters and prints that are open edition and affordable for all my non-billionaire friends.”

Five Cent, well, excuse us, 5 Cent, takes us on a tour of the Compound of David Choe. Actually, this is the real David Choe, just a bit smaller.
