There is a line in this issue, curated, about, dedicated to David Choe, that sums up not only his artistic genius and style, not just his unparalleled energy and gift, and not just celebrity status has one of the most dynamic and sought after contemporary artists of his time: "Dave had turned hanging out with his friends into an art project."

Not only that, but we got Dave to give us 5 different covers to span the globe, so the quest is on to to find all 5 covers in a bookstore and webstore nearest you. Did we mention the free poster? There is one of those, too.
