…David Choe discussing childhood influences and creative inspiration
“For me, art as a kid growing up, like the trifecta, my holy trinity of children's education, art entertainment is Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and then of course Pee Wee Herman. I mean, Pee Wee Herman had Lawrence Fishburne, Gary Panter, Mark Mothersbaugh, like Danny Elfman. Like he just, he was like the ringleader of all this creativity.”
