San Jose-based graffiti artist David Choe will be feeling pretty good, he’s now worth $200 million after Facebook went public on Wednesday.

In 2005, Choe who first thought of Facebook as “ridiculous and pointless” was approached by Mark Zuckerberg to paint graffiti on the walls of Facebook’s first office in Palo Alto, California.

Choe was however, paid in shares instead of cash and those shares are now worth $200 million.

According to Choe, “they cut the walls out of all [his] paintings and sent them to all the Facebook offices around the world.”

Here’s a video of the graffiti artist El Mac in Viet Nam.

Here’s a new video put together by the good folks at VNTWT in Saigon, VietNam. It’s based on footage and interviews from when I painted there in 2010. I don’t think I was as eloquent as I could have been, but other than that I think it’s a great video and hopefully gives a little bit of an insight into how/why I paint what I do. I really found a lot of inspiration in VietNam and look forward to going back to paint there some more, and hopefully visit some other parts of SE Asia as well.

Also, I have a bunch of other updates to put up, but I’ve been locked away in the studio preparing for upcoming gallery shows & mural projects, but I’ll be adding some more stuff soon..
