The latest episode of MOCAtv's Artist Talk with Alia Shawkat and Lance Bangs visits David Choe's Los Angeles batcave. Inside his studio, Choe speaks frankly about the new freedoms and challenges he faces having reached the 'bonus level' of the art world video game. Watch the video after the jump!

Our old friend David Choe (that full issue with David we did is a bible of how to do art on your own terms) has been extremely busy over the past few months. You could start with his date night with Aubrey Plaza if you wanted to. But Dave is currently in Mexico City, painting murals and collaborating with a current Jux favorite, Dhear. Before then, David hosted an art workshop with the children of South Central, Los Angeles with aims to complete a 40 foot wall surrounding their playground at A Place Called Home (APCH).

David Choe has teamed up with hip-hop legend and activist, RZA, for a special collaboration to benefit relief efforts for Superstorm Sandy. The collab is part of the charity exhibition, The Gift Show, being held at the Scion AV Installation space in Los Angeles opening this Saturday, December 15. There will be 10 prints, sold during the opening this Saturday. Other artists include Sage Vaughn, Mark Mothersbaugh, Blek le Rat, and others.

After the success of Alex Pardee's "WayCooler" mobile sticker app, San Francisco-based Upper Playground teamed up with 99CentBrains to create two new free mobile apps: the "stickUP" app that features classic and UP artwork, and "Choebot," which allows you to apply David Choe's artwork to your photos or your parent's faces. Both are available in theApple App store now.

The Outsiders, a gallery and print shop of Lazarides Gallery in London, just released prints from former Juxtapoz cover artists, Conor Harrington and David Choe. Harrington's Tardis of Delight is made in an edition of 60, while David Choe's Helmet was editioned at 187.

David Choe has remained quiet and under the radar since he made national headlines when his Facebook stock was estimate to bed worth approximately $200 million.  The artist just finished a new mural on the island of Hawaii in his classic "dirty style”, which includes an abnormal teenage mutant ninja turtle and octopus head garment.

A few months ago, David Choe (cover artist of both January 2006 and May 2010) was news all over the world; Facebook IPOs, Howard Stern, Barbara Walters, painting the new Facebook headquarters, and then... silence. Choe recently opened up his sketchbook and studio to show a few glimpses on some smaller works that he has been creating...

There's a few trends that keep on keepin' on, but the one that continues to defy any foreseeable prediction is that of: white rappers. Chalk it up to Mickey Avalon for glamorizing the latter. He's cleverly marred what's kitschy and indecent in life mixed in among smooth hooks and memorable rhythms. From a guy that signs his name with hearts.

You know you have made it big when Taiwan's Next Media Animation does a recap of your famous deeds in their signature style. David Choe, who made international headlines with news of his Facebook stock holdings becoming public, made the rounds of major NYC media outlets this past week, including Barbara Walters and Howard Stern, and NMA.tv created this animation recounting the week.

Keeping up with the whereabouts of our good friend David Choe, he is set to be on the Howard Stern show today, the King of All Media (does he still go with that moniker?). To mark the occasion, Mr. Choe has painted a little special piece for Stern, which we think is something that a lot of Stern/Choe fans would love to have.
