You don't need to know the devil to sell your soul

I'll find what I like even if it takes all night
David Choe is one fascinating individual.  thedailywhat: Tags To Riches of the Day: Graffiti artist David Choe is no slouch when it comes to getting his hands dirty for big names: His artwork covers Jay-Z and Linkin Park’s Collision Course; he’s provided set decorations for Juno; and a portrait of Obama he painted is hanging in the White House. But it’s his contribution to Facebook that might be Choe’s magnum opus. The L.A. native was compensated for mural work he did at Facebook’s Palo Alto HQ in 2005 with company shares in lieu of a few thousand dollars. In light of yesterday’s IPO filing, Choe’s shares may now be worth upwards of $200 million. Best part? He once called Facebook’s concept “ridiculous and pointless.” Watch the artist at work below: [dailymail / animalny / photo: clout.]
