I told this guy m.strange that I wanted to set up my website so I don’t have to update it for 5 years.
That was about 5 years ago. He designed it in the time it takes to take a real good shit and check your e-mail.
But for the last three years he’s been working like a madman in his san jose cave , creating this ,stop motion, claymation,,,, every kind of animation, he did most or all of the voices(I did the voice of the character ,rain, and painted some people melting), sound effects, music, art, and animating, it’s super insprirational, and is a true testament what one man can do, with a little technology and not that much cash, if he’s committed and dedicated and hungry enough, this thing is gonna be crazy, it’s funny, sad, romantic, mindfuck, I’m doing a horrible job explaining it, it got on the front page of youtube.com , http://youtube.com/watch?v=6qCSahatkbk
Last week ,and got like half a million hits, He got hundreds or rabid hardcore fans over night, that’s hardwork and dedication paying off, shit is blowing up. We’re all super excited, if this shit gets into sundance, we’re all going to park city next year to fuck it up.
Watch this shit, it’ll blow your mind

Just got back from another adventure for VICE/MTV network
This one was me my friend harry kim, and a camera man , jacinto who I
didn’t know was gay until 4 days into the trip and 50 gay jokes
later,(awesome gaydar!) the goal was to hitchhike, and hop trains from santa
monica beach to south beach in Miami, and film everything along the way,
we did it in 16 days!! And it was wild ride, we almost got arrested in
tuniuca Mississippi because people saw us hitchhiking and called the
police on us saying we were terrorists! I can honestly say Mississippi
will be safe from terrorists ….. forever. Message to Mississippi -You
have to do something first, make something with yourself, before your
worth terrorizing. Anyways we got back bruised and battered. Here’s some
photo’s from the road(i know the painting of the naked chick on the wall
is fucked, i did it less than a minute on walgreens in tulsa, oaklahoma
in broad daylight, with this crazy naked chick just laying out there..
cut me some slack sheesh )And a preview from our last trip

I used to just make kim chee jigae with 3 week old kim chee, chicken
stock and chunks of spam, after visiting the 4rth ward Josephine click in
new Orleans , I’ve replaced the spam with turkey neck. You cannot
change the world , events, circumstance and fate, all you can change is you
and the way you look at things and act on them. With this epic
transition from spam to neck ,life just got a little bit better.

ASSASINATE YOUR SOUL!!!!

Selling oranges by the freeway, selling hand carved marble chess sets
from tiajuana door to door in Beverly hills, selling diet magic weight
loss pills to chubsters, selling whores in Africa gave me the confidence
to slang my own artwork for over a decade.and it’s been great, but the
truth is I’m tired of negotiating and chasing down cash more than I’m
actually painting, why not have someone else better, smarter and more
equipped to deal with it? Enter Mark suroff of the soul assasins creative
agency. This dude holds it down, I met with mark, estevan oriol, and
mr. Cartoon this week three of the most coolest laid back dudes around,
they are all driven, hungry, and workaholics like me so I think it will
be a perfect marriage. Time to pass over the mike. And speaking of mike
, these boys like to frequent the Keroke bars in koreatown, you can’t
get the mike out of their hands once they get on, Cartoon sang ,nirvana-
all apologies, TWICE!!! What you are seeing in this photo(left to
right) is mark suroff-master cleanse diet -4 days, mr. Cartoon master
cleanse diet-5days, me-steady diet of kimchee, sesos and lengua, estevan
oriol-master cleanse diet 11 days , lost 35 llbs!, and Bronson the hairless
Egyptian cat ,been on a diet of pussy and fancy feast since burf.

DAVID CHOE 2007 CALENDAR OUT NO........NEVER!!!!

After producing the dave choe calendar with tower records for the
last 5 years, I turned in the art three months ago just to find out
last week, it ain’t happening, they’re filing for bankruptcy. So
what? They ‘ve already filed for bankruptcy like 10 times already.
The problem this time is, it’s time for LIQUIDATION! Here’s the
news straight from ,clint my main man over at tower
“Tower Records is going to be fading into the
sunset, and fading to black
pretty damned fast, too. They declared bankruptcy (again) in the
first week of August. But at
that time it still looked like things were going to stay normal, and
things like the calendars were
still going to happen. The end result of the bankruptcy was Tower
going on the auction block.
The auction was last Thursday and Friday, and after 29 straight hours
of negotiating (I'm told
there was no sleep, just a long, long negotiation), a company called
Great American Group won
the auction, and walked off with Tower in the bag for a mere $150
million dollars.

So far, so good- but Great American is a professional liquidator, and
their sole purpose at this
point is to sell off everything in the company including tables and
chairs for as much money as
they can get. The entire main office short of some accounting people
will probably be laid off
tomorrow, maybe Wednesday. The stores will be selling everything on
sale, and I guess they're
going to stay open for the next 6-8 weeks or so, maybe through the
middle of December.

No more zines, no more distribution... oh, well. Easy come, easy go,
right?”

I hear the sounds of prices being slashed faster than wallmart, I’m
sure as it gets closer to d-day the sales are gonna get crazier and
crazier, I guess this is a direct result of the internet, and no
one buying music anymore, and the fucked side effect being, tower
records in a lot of small towns is the only outlet and source for cool
independent zine’s ,comics and magazines. Oh well. I’m off to go
buy some music, I’m gonna get a basket, I need a new desk also.
