- Embrace Fearlessness and Connection: Insights from David Choe
In this thought-provoking video, artist David Choe delivers a powerful message on the essence of artistic courage and the importance of inner connection. Drawing from his own experiences and interactions, Choe addresses the questions he frequently receives about art trades and free paintings, providing an unfiltered perspective on the art world and personal growth.
David Choe's message is clear: while fear and hesitation might have their place in many aspects of life, art should be a realm of absolute fearlessness. He challenges aspiring artists to confront their fears and surrender completely to their creative impulses, transforming the blank canvas into a portal of unrestrained expression. Choe emphasizes that the act of holding back is what diminishes the quality of one's art.
Choe also delves into the deeper aspects of life and success, dismantling the common myth that material achievements equate to true fulfillment. He shares his own journey and the insights gained from his relationships with influential individuals, highlighting that genuine peace and joy come from within, not from external possessions or status.
Moreover, Choe invites viewers to explore unconventional forms of connection and communication, such as telepathy and astral projection. He shares personal anecdotes about meeting influential figures and loved ones in seemingly preordained ways, encouraging a shift towards a more intuitive and spiritually connected approach to life.
Throughout the video, Choe advocates for a delusional optimism and a best-case-scenario mindset, urging everyone to become agents of love and creative chaos. His call to action is to embrace the present moment, appreciate what we already have, and connect deeply with ourselves and others beyond the conventional means.
Join David Choe on this journey of fearless creativity and profound connection. Break free from your artistic limitations, and discover the transformative power of being fully present and connected.
Key Points:
The importance of fearlessness in art.
The myth of "making it" and true sources of fulfillment.
Embracing inner connection and unconventional communication.
The power of delusional optimism and being an agent of love and creative chaos.

Yo, I'm about to embark on my artistic adventure!
You’ll be a great artist
@@Moodboardxyz thank you from the top of my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
You already are.. you are doing it.. dig it!!
🫰🏻🔥
I'm really feeling inspired ✨️ 😌 ☺️ 🔥 🙏🏾 ❤️ Love you folks
David, You're the art teacher/mentor that would be tragically fired because you strayed from the script. I appreciate that you are here.
I agree, not sure if I'd be still alive if I didn't discover his work. Dave, you're the best ❤
I'd watch that movie
💀💀💀
Idiotic
How’s it going?
i telepathically fuck with this video
Your alive!!!
There are two dudes and a little piggy searching for you!
I telepathically fucked the video
“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.👍
That's a very way of life by itself.
My favorite line in the video. Hahaha I’m gonna use it moving forward.
When that piano hits lol
I made it ...came from divorcedb2 homeless ...i made it to my own apartment now im creating my back art i had stored in my head now my art is everywhere in house ...enjoying my own art my own music i created i made it ...and im happy
Heck yeah dude good for you
So happy for you ❤ isn’t it amazing?
Hell yeah dude. Sometimes things need to fall apart in order to come together ❤
Blessings to you, man.
Get it my dude
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.
“express yourself fearlessly and you will become.”
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!
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. ❤
🏳️🫰🏻
me too - your words bring tears to my eyes - i feel you
That’s exactly how I’ve spent the past 12 years, you’re awesome.
EXACTLY 💯 I RELATE ❤
Wishing you the best of luck in reconnecting with yourself
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.
Don't listen to her maaaaaaaaan forget the rules and fart man and calling mary man and vote liberals who love this stuff
People who suck can drag you down. Don’t hang out with people who suck.
But what if I suck
@@Daygoth then stop
I often say, "To create, is to choose."
I agree :) to create is to love, is to express, is to feel
hmm do i want to eat white bread or whole grain bread? I guess i want whole grain today
BOOM WHOLE GRAIN BREAD HAS BEEN CREATED
@@dddaaa6965 I was more trying to suggest that being "creative" can be about more than just physical art. That being human and exercising agency over ones life can be a creative process in itself.
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 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!
The more you stay true to yourself, the more value your art has and the real it will be.🙏🏾
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
The mid-vid ebay scroll killed me 😂
You’re the uncle I didn’t think I needed. I used to draw every single day. One of my relatives said don’t focus on art so much, but not only that I’ve also lost almost all my creativity from the daily grind of life. I hope it comes back soon
Just know that you're not alone with this! ❤️
Haha thanks, 😭 it’s especially hard now that I have a toddler but I’ll try to draw and such soon ❤️
i talk to a squirrel named Wally. he eats almonds on my windowsill and sometimes sits in my hand
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.
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.
@@joshleap I am still interested and do have compassion for all paths, but I see it wreck my friends trying so hard to market themselves, and honestly its becoming increasingly hard to just function with a normal job these days. 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
This video is affirmation to pursue your dreams relentlessly.
Nope.....desire are wicked, choe is respectable...I despise the stars but choe gives me John bohner and Ted Cruz off camera vibes
BECOME LITERALLY INSANE, DELUSIONAL IN A POSITIVE WAY THAT BRINGS YOUR DESIRES TO PAST! YEEEEESSSS!
Instant success story, only takes 10 years.
And lots of fun.
How does this not have 10 million views
You are the Art Buddha. The Maitreya Maestro! I am now inspired and can’t thank you enough. I have a BFA in art and all I learned to do is paint still lifes, landscapes, and figures. I lost my passion because those things bore me to tears. No more.
🔥
I stopped caring what other people think.
I don’t think I’ll “make it” with my art. Thats not me. But I hope I will always be able to paint & create. I do it for me. It gives me peace and tranquility.
This feels so outerspace spiritual and simultaneously down to earth logical. Thank you.
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. 😤😤😤😤
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.
Paint what he taught you in abstract or surreal
I fucking love this. Thank you
I realllllly needed this. 🙂 my ego is constantly at me saying, “you’re a failed artist.”
I really like the “you made it now” because I am so grateful for how my life has landed and my art brings me so much joy. Ideally my stories will one day be enough to live on, but I am still so grateful for today
"Art is for keeps"
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.
please make more videos like this this is amazing!
Fear will stop you loving. Love will stop your fears.
I met you this week and you have already changed my life in so many ways. I am also an artist and I am increasingly exploring to free myself in front of a blank canvas and ceasing to be a slave to the algorithm. Thanks a lot buddy, we (little artists) needs you ❤
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
What actually scares me is how on point you are.
Choe inspires me every day to keep making my garbage music. And for that I thank him.
God bless Choe!
NEEDED TO HEAR THIS IN THESE WORDS THANK YOU DAVID CHOE
This gave me chills. Newly retired but I am not lost.
I sat with this in my tabs for a week or two before I actually watched it. I'm so glad I watched it.
I haven’t made art in years for fear of failure. But everyday internally I’m upset with myself for not creating something that day. I’m gunna play these videos and make something👍
This is the best video I've ever watched. Honesty is so refreshing.
Old me would have agreed that my art sucks, but now when he says it im like NAH IT DOESNT, it can be worse, but it will be better. im here to learn not to compare. all i can say is, if you put in the work every day, you will get to a point where you find true freedom. just keep going, i believe in us.
I just meet your art a long time ago and i never meet you until today but i hope ill meet you again one day to day thanks i really needed a slap to pic up my pencil and let this pain that these world only brings today. Love to everyone
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!
I like how you accentuated health and personality as priorities to be grateful for, and the need to be fearless in your art.
I really needed to hear someone say the things that i believe and to know that other people feel the same. Thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤
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.
David Choe telling us all what we need to hear!
and NOW of all times NOW. THANK YOU DAVID
Im still stuck in everything I do, I know why letting go is so important but my f’ing brain wont allow it 🫨 the moment I realised I wasn’t capable of doing something else the pressure of “making it” increased. 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. Thats when I found myself again. Took me a few years to get back on my feet and now that I am i feel that f’ing pressure comming back.
But you don’t have to make the same mistakes again you know - figure out how to sidestep that shit.
always liked you since i saw your vice hitchhiking documentaries. i religiously watched those. something about them altered me and opened me up a little bit for sure. i came back to your channel because i never forgot and i am now, i can confidently say, an artist. after many battles and turmoil with myself and others about it. anyway, i just wanna say thanks for making content again! this video is exactly what i've been thinking and coming to accept about an artist. everything is lining up. peace be with you man.
Today I learned how to be fearless and now I know how to talk to babies before I meet them.
In the past 2 days .....I have been drawn to create my own Art
I have decided that I want no one else thoughts and imagination on my walls...I am going to get rid of all previous Art and paint my own... Pray 4 me 🎨👩🏽🎨🌅
I love the essence of this human!
Love you David! Went hitchhiking cause of you! One of the coolest moments!
these videos are supremely helpful not just as an artist but as a human being. much love 💗💗
Talk the plants in my house and garden… and sometimes they talk back! 😮
THANK YOU!! I AM GRATEFUL! so happy you took the time to make this!
Thanks David. Love your videos, perspective, and positive messages.
Really inspirational.
Love the distinct look of your art ...loving ur vids...watched your doc from the early 00s when your cuz jumped out of the pumpkin patch🤣🤣
anyone wanna go grab a sandwich ?
🤤
if it’s on you
Is it a magic sandwich?
@@jennifermariejoyce no but I may disappear when the bill comes 😜
@@davo-ju6er Hahahaaahhh touché🎩
It starts meow. Be the lion.
I needed this video today. It really is all about surrendering and releasing everything and just let it go. Sometimes I stay in my own way. Thank you so much.
I'm having such a wonderful day of connecting and creating, and this video, which has arrived to my awareness in dramatic and revelatory fashion, confirms all of the pronoiac suspicions and liminal leanings that have inundated my soul with such mirthful imaginings these past few years. Let this be notice of a lotus-bloom-type burgeoning of beautiful touchstone moments unfolding in all of your lives. May you who is reading and keeping abreast of the myriad ways our thought coalesce, may your experience today be of matchless caliber and superlative persuasion. And thank you David, for the reminder to use our uncommon sense and realize our unmitigated potential. 🙏
This really is a life tutorial. Thank you for this David, I didn’t realize I needed this until now.
Everything you say, how you say it, resonates with me (and i’m sure many others) and it has lit a fire under my ass. I’ve never been so moved by a video on YT, thank you for this.
My favorite David Choe
Right now man. Many thanks, sending love
This was so chaotic yet peaceful. Inspired me to produce art even though i've only dabbled in poetry!
Yo you inspire me thank you 💚
For some reason I have been drawing crosses into my art and I see that acceptance of feeling in the piece directly behind you. We are being listening to the same frequencies so thanks for a sign of confirmation
Thanks. I'm fearful of disruptions so I mope around all day, but I've been a little more productive by changing materials and focus. You're right, the time is now!!
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
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.
TRUE WISDOM, TRUE KNOWLEDGE SOUL KNOWLEDGE! THANK YOU BROTHER FOR SHARING!!! THIS HIT, BULL'S EYE!
thank you so much brotha i needed this
Hey David! The oven light is on 💡thanks for caring about us enuff to share who you be🍕🐳🪷
i'm just gonna start watching this everytime i start a painting. the way that i craved chaotic painting within a minute of watching this was crazy
So glad I'm not alone!!! Thanks David! Delusion is one of the best tools we got! We have to first think up a better tomorrow collectively before it can actually become possible....
Man, I just met you and now I LOVE YOU! Thank you for this, really needed it! Wish you the best from Brazil!
Thank you.
This is unparalleled advice, David. Love it!!
I actually really need this message and it was perfect timing
Thanks for sharing
This is totally true.
And if you think positive energy is unrealistic and unable to change the world, I'd ask you where negativity has gotten us!
Let's try positive energy. It can't do worse for us than negativity has.
Wake that up✨
If we saw ourselves sans imposition, confusion and shame...we could open like a flower and delight the world.
WE are still here. And we are still trying...
Him checking the phone made my day , I haven’t laugh out loud in months. Thanks Dave.
This was unexpectantly profound. Thank you.
Thank you David i needed this today
listen to this, and internalize this, because this man is spitting.
Absolutely love this! Much appreciated as always 🙏
⭕️🙏
love this to bits! thank you so much for this video.
Thanks David Choe 😊

Thanks bro, you're the vibe and because of that im the vibe✌️❤️
I wasn’t aware of you until a few weeks ago but I think the universe gave you to me at the perfect time.
Hi David I just found you on UA-cam through this video a couple minutes ago and I love your style I am a 21 year old artist who has schizoaffective disorder and due to the schizophrenia and depression I attempted to amputate my hand and succeeded so after the surgeries and shit i had to learn to redraw again n do everything w my left hand causw of the paychotic break accident you inspired thee shit outta me man I love ur work!!
