David Choe is a graffiti artist i have been following and a fan of Choe for a long while.
Around 2005ish he painted the head quarters for Facebook and decided to get payed in stock. Well lets just say that with Facebook going public and being estimated to be worth around 100 billion dollars. It was a very smart decision for Choe to paid in stocks. Its said that the amount of stocks he received are worth around 200 million dollars. Which in turn make shim one of the richest artists and undoubtedly the riches graffiti artist in the world.
By far my favorite part about Facebook going public.
Read more on this subject, and see some videos of Choe and even Mark Z. painting the Facebook head quarters after the jump at Freshness Mag.
Hard work does pay off and some times in ways you do expect. There will be ups and there will be downs, but if you truly believe in what you are doing and are willing to work your ass of to accomplish your dreams, it will pay off. keep doing what you love and create what you want to show to the world, you never know what will come about. Not everything is easy for a reason, that is life.
