Recently I went through some photos and stumbled on this shot of David Choe in action on a trip we took to Barcelona, I think it was 06.
There was an interesting drawing by Picasso in the “Picasso Museum” that we saw on that trip of a butler jerking off and taking a shit while serving someone a chicken. We thought it was hilarious.
This was the inspiration for Dave to do his painting of Homer Simpson doing the same with a dreaded mullet that has been grown out the top of his head, the “upper dreaded mullet” (this was a common hairdo in Barcelona we kept seeing everywhere).
I just got back from Barcelona a few weeks ago and without a doubt the mullet is making a huge comeback. I also noticed an unusual amount of fanny packs and pirates.
Dave Choe is the man! I have been a fan of his work since we were in high school together. I remember he drew a T-shirt design for the water polo team. It was insane.
I liked your (Saber) appearance in his movie, Dirty Hands. Your explanation of how Dave Choe does not have to follow any graffiti “rules” was great.
Thanks for sharing this picture and story!
haha what a story, sure the guy served some juicy chicken………..
lets not overlook the dreaded white boy nappy dread trend as well. Anarchismo !!!
Come back 2 Barcelona soon!!
best regards.
Why was I left in the dark about your blog??? Dammit Saber!
