He took the stock options and years later when it went public, his stocks that he kept were worth more than 200mil.

[@MAZ1N00]

Oh yeah that makes sense I agree with you there, but Choe isn't one of those people so there is no reason to call him a clown. All he did was his own art and got paid for it, and there is nothing wrong with that. We know most people are sheep but to be honest, even that doesn't bother me anymore, because no matter how much you hate everything around you can always improve yourself so I just work on that aspect of my life. I personally just prefer to show respect to people if I like their work.

You just need to stop worrying about what other people are doing. If you don't like what Choe does with his art and talents don't support it. If you know about Choe's life then you can see his passion in his art. This a guy who when in prison would punch himself in the face to start bleeding so he could use his blood for paint. He worked everyday of his life to become an artist and he became successful at it, so in my opinion he earned every right to paint whatever art he wants.
