PORTRAIT OF DAVID CHOE

24" x 36" Acrylic on paper
David Choe is an outstanding original artist.  When Facebook was just starting out they asked him to paint a mural in their corporate office and he agreed to the commission for $60,000.  Upon completion of the mural Facebook came up short and asked David if he would take shares of stock instead.  He agreed and last year he cashed in to the tune of $260 million.

This drawing is of the first professional prizefight my father and I attended.  I had taken up boxing as a kid at the Police Athletic league and was having some success, but my parents were against it.  I begged my Dad to take me to see this fight as I had heard that Joe Frazier was the only boxer who could beat Muhammed Ali. Frazier's opponent was Jerry Quarry, who himself was a top contender during the 1960's. Reluctantly my Dad took me and I now realize he did it so I could see for myself how brutal this sport is.  The fight was stopped in the 7th round because Quarry had a cut over his right eye.  Both of these fighters are now dead.  Quarry at 53 (brain damage sustained from prizefighting), Frazier at 67 from liver cancer.  I quit boxing because I lacked the killer instinct.
