NORM of MSK. Skull & Sword

The exhibit presented by The Skull & Sword Family and The Seventh Letter, recently opened at Canvas in Los Angeles, bringing with it some of the biggest names in the world of tattooing, graffiti, painting, and graphic design. Curate by San Francisco’s tattoo and graffiti artist NORM, Skull & Sword is a testament to the power and relevance of what many still deem "outsider art".

Dirty Hands - The Art and Crimes of David Choe



Dirty Hands: The Art & Crimes of David Choe

Documentary Competition
(USA, 2008, 92 mins)
DigiBeta
World Premiere
Directed By: Harry Kim
Writer: Harry Kim
Producers: Elizabeth Ai, Harry Kim
Cinematographers: Harry Kim, Johnny Granado
Editors: Daniel Freedman, Harry Kim, Heather Lenz
Featuring: David Choe

Los Angeles artist David Choe is not as crazy as his violent, phantasmagoric, and sexual work across several media would suggest, he is considerably more so, embodying William Blake's adage that “you never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.”Captivated by Choe's mania for adventure and excess, close friend Harry Kim filmed the artist's “life and crimes” from 2000 to 2007, a period coinciding with Choe's rise to fame and fortune in the art world as he matured from a street artist bombing underpasses and illustrating porn magazines to a respected muralist, painter, and graphic novelist. The ride, however, was a bumpy one. From jail sentences and an addiction to shoplifting and graffiti to dinosaur hunting and wrestling pygmies in the heart of the Congo, Choe's irrepressible spirit is as much a model of unrestrained living as it is a cautionary example of excess.
