This Jimi Hendrix painting by David Choe is my favorite piece from his portfolio. His largest work to date, he only produced 27 giclee’ prints at $600, and sold out before he even got the post up on his blog.
Per Wiki: “David Choe is of Korean descent and was born and raised in Los Angeles. He dropped out of art school, to become a wandering street/graffiti artist. He acknowledges being a thief to support his life-style, and a number of arrests from vandalism to assault. David Choe has traveled to some of the most dangerous places on earth (the Gaza Strip, the Republic of Congo), hitchhiking and freighthopping around the US. and Europe. But among his favorite places is Vietnam.”
