Rest in Power, Ed Piskor😢

totally fukkin inspirational! I'm 50, quit my job last year to just focus on me and my art. Ive got my first solo show in 4 years in a few weeks and am trying to run my house as a gallery space for new and emerging artists in the future! Grew up with comics in 70s-90s, helped me survive my abusive father and much other family dysfunction, I wouldn't be alive today without them. I totally get what and where he's talking about! respect David Choe and always Ed 'n' Jim

David Choe is a treasure. This guy is on another level.

A couple years ago, Mangchi came thru Vancouver and it was probably one of the best live shows I've ever been to. Free merch, insane props and music. At the end of the show, I stuck around to give David my comics. He stuck his head out of the tour bus, signed my copy of his art book and thanked me for the comics. I smoked a joint w some of the band members after that and Dave stuck his head out of the tour bus again and shouted at me to come over. He pointed out all his favourite parts of my comic, what was working and what I could work on more. He really gave me a thoughtful critique and told me I had to continue making comics! Even thinking about that night gives me the warm fuzzy feeling. Really enjoyed listening to him talk comics for almost 3 hours!

Work Harder, Try Harder!!! - David Choe

David Choe, Peter Chung, Tim Vigil! You guys are doing the lords work!

David Choe’s Batman painting sold on EBay for charity was the first painting he has sold in over 10 years. Amazing work and could be considered his Mona Lisa.

I literally yelled "YES!" when I saw this. I discovered Cho through his amazing Vice series "Thumbs Up". To find out the man is deep in the comics world was mindblowing. Thanks again for the amazing work

TAKE EVERYTHING YOU DO SERIOUSLY AND NEVER STOP : THE ULTIMATE WORDS OF WISDOM. CHOE IS AMAZING IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. D

I listened to every episode of DVDASA. It’s nice to hear Dave’s voice again.

Dave Choe is a national treasure! Dave, if you're reading this I would very much like to see you and Liefeld team-up on an epic, mixed media, Pouch Man style comic, please. Ok, thanks.

It's crazy to have been a big DVDASA fan back in the day, then to get into Cartoonist Kayfabe and out of nowhere to see David pop up, crazy still for him to then start talking about Simon Hanselmann who I was just getting into for their daily Crisis Zone strip. It was like worlds colliding. This interview was so good nearly a year later I'm still coming back to listen to this while I draw. Thanks again for this gem.

This has to be one of the greatest interviews Ive ever seen.

You know the best part of the interviews? Just the level of honesty you guys get from your guest. Keep up the great work fellas!

This deserves an award.

Loving this! David Choe can’t be contained in one interview 💪🏻💪🏻

Can’t stop listening to this interview!

This interview came at the right time. I’ve never felt lower in my life than I have recently and have been thinking of giving up Imposter syndrome is a real thing and never feeling satisfied is soul crushing as a creative person and it’s comforting to hear you aren’t the only one going through the same ordeal. It’s nice to hear that you can push through your mental adversity and the voice that’s always putting you down to keep reaching for the brass ring.

I am scared, lol. This is a wise ass dude. He’s dropping ALL the gems artists need to hear.

Really needed this!! Was being too much of a perfectionist with my comic. Now I just want to have fun and get it in!! See where it goes and remember why I loved creating comics in the first place. Like Dave said, you guys are really doing the world a favor with this amazing channel!! Kayfabe for life!!!

This is so funny. I don't remember talking about porn illustration with him, but I did do a tiny little bit of illustration for some small local magazines around then so it could be. Never for Hustler or the big boys. I've never been a good hustler. I wonder if he's conflating porn knowledge with me because I was doing the All About Fuckin' mini comic back then. My memory of when we met at APE was I said Hey David Choe I love Slow Jams I totally ripped you off for my comics about being in a circus, and David said I love those Circus comics, I ripped you off for my latest comic in Non 5! I think it was a schematic cutaway image of a warehouse space I lived in and he did a similar thing for his Non comic. Would love to see a collection of David's old comics, and new comics would be great, too. Anyway, still working my way through this, Choe's interviews are always entertaining and inspiring, great job, guys--

What an incredible, honest, timely and inspiring interview.

Fuck this made my day.

"I have a good day , after I listen to a Kayfabe interview" The most epic quote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Butt Man is some real nasty smut. Funny hearing it brought up in a Kayfabe conversation. Wild interview! Thanks for the break in the bad news

I too, am someone whose life was saved by David. Forever love

Choe is my soul brother. I also did 1 comic book and then self destructed in the industry. The only difference is that no one noticed mine haha

You guys just saved my life tonight. Ed and Jim you create such an inspiring environment for these interviews. And David what a fantastic wonder you are, brother. Thank you for being so transparent about your life and your creative process. You are an authentic person. All three of you guys are fantastic, and this is my favorite episode by far. Kayfabe and this episode in particular came at the right moment in my life. I’m just about to put together my own comics, and I’m going to be watching and listening to this interview to push away the doubts. It’s time to get it done ✅ thank you 🙏

David Choe sounds like the guy who could be your best friend.

I missed dvdasa and myself personally just hearing the level of openness David Choe with I'm able to self reflect and put names to faces for particular demons so thank you guys and thank you David if it weren't for the therapy you took and talk about I would be stuck in a completely different much much worse hole

WoW! That was incredible! World needs David Choe comics for sure!

Duuuuude! David Choe deep dive! Still have my original copy of Slow Jams that I bought from him at SD Comic Con- that comic really opened my eyes.

This is amazing. David Choe is an inspiration to be real and I'm so thankful for this interview.

Great to see Choe being more active in the Internet again. I really love to hear from this guy

Damn guys. Thank you. There is so much good stuff in this interview. Kayfabe is always fantastic, but this interview is packed with inspiring info. THANKS!

I've never had one of these interviews bring me to tears before, but this one got to me, man. Awesome job! Unbelievably inspiring stuff!

That was awesome! Now to go watch David Choe's Star Wars Fan Fiction!

Fantastic interview. Love how all these legends are giving you guys the proper praise for what you're giving us every week, thank you!

Bro this interview was a breath of fresh today. Keep up the great work.

Man when I saw the slow jams video go up I was like damn now they got my hopes up for Choe interview. So fuckin great. DVDASA forever

Only an hour and 20 minutes in but just gotta stop for a min this fella is spitting some inspirational shit! Holy shit I needed this.

This is one of the best Kayfabe interviews fsure! Love this shit. You guys killed it this ep.

Wow, this is incredible -- feels like the best therapy session, just listening and taking this all in Thank you!

Great way to spend a sunday morning. Thank you!

Thank you, Ed. Thank you, Jim. Thank you, David. Amazing!

David is sooo full of experiential wisdom- he has seen & accomplished it all. He is a true artistic genius! I think David's return to comics could be the best way to share his art with his fans, without the collectors going crazy... especially if it is a Fantagraphics book.

David cho! Thanks for making this

This is absolutely fantastic!

What a guy, thank you guys

I tabled with David at that first SPX. He is an extraordinary human. I am Keith Knight and I amusing my wife's account.

This guy is amazing! Great interview, as always!

Such a unique guy, love the interview

Thanks Dave, and everyone else that made this happen.

Love Dave with all my heart ❤️

Awesome interview. Thank you David for being so honest.

Shadowhawk T-shirt, awesome.

Wow man, been tuning in to CK for a bit on and off and really like Jim and Ed; but this episode made a die hard out of me. Thanks so much, looking forward to reading slow jams.

I haven't heard anyone more relatable than this guy. Maybe I should try his methods out.

This was the best thing I’ve seen on KZfaq. Super interesting and has me charged up to draw.

This is one of the best shoots yet, maybe the best. Inspiring.

Freaking awesome interview guys 😭

This interview was training for Joe's podcast.

Ed and Jim ARE ‘doing God’s work’. David Choe is for real.

more real than most. straightest shoot in Kayfabe history. thanks for the reality check.

cheers for this interview

Great job on the interview

Really inspiring interview, love his passion. 🤟🏼🙏🏼

This is possibly the greatest fucking interview I've watched on the interwebs. Thanks for this.

Dave Choe interview is fn great! U r doing Odin’s work! Thanks always,guys!!

THIS IS THE BEST OF ALL THE SHOOTS!!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite interviews. David keeps it realer than real. BTW...Put "Doing Odin's Work" on some Kayfabe merch.

NYX with David's art would've been sick. Wish I could see that. Another great interview. A lot to take in. I wanted to note some quotes, but was too caught up. Loved every minute.

I love that Jim reprinted all the classic Ted Mckeever books. I only wish the format was double the size they were printed at.

Been a fan since I read his article in Giant Robot about going to the Congo. Was lucky enough to find Slow Jams in London's Gosh Comics - 20 years ago! He is such an inspiration. This interview kept me up way past my bedtime and now I want to watch his Star Wars video.

Thank you David and fellas for diving deep with this Street legend, who speaks truth. Love Choe’s perspective on art an grim life in general, he got me to pick up my pigma pens 🖊 again.

Glad to see Dave back into comics, I hope he releases stuff again.

This is a really fun podcast! Going to check out more. Really nice to hear Dave talk about art. Usually it’s just edgy stuff. Good to hear his perspective more on art and surprisingly money

This is awesome guys!!

Love this!!!

This was an awesome show guys!

This was perfect

Thank you.

Thank You.

Hell yes. Fried gold, boys. Was moved by what this artist had to say. Thank you for putting him in front of me.

Great interview

Great podcast guys!

This was so important for me to watch. Left hander here

This is a good interview

You guys knocked it out of the park with this one. You truly are doing God's work.

David Choe is of course a great hero and inspiration. But all that he says about you two rings true too. I really enjoy rolling through all of your videos only because damn, there is no other place to find people rolling through comics, picture books, talking about story telling, art and design. One time I nervously drew a homer simpson for him on instagram. weird, cool, rewarding moment.

Why do I want to read Dark Knight in prison now? 😅😂

DVDASA FOREVER

Thanx!Best wishes!

This is heavy! I had good laugh, serious times... I didn't cry but I could have another day :D I'm listening to this while drawing and it's a lot of food for thought, don't know how much time I'll need to digest. Btw, someone could share the link to that Kevin Eastman interview he's talking about?

Mad respext to you guys for finally getting Choe back on a podcast

Holy shit. This is the best fucking KZfaq channel of all time.

This is an all time interview

Inspiring stuff here. This one made me break out my pens and draw.

This was amazing ! Thank you guys for everything you do !
