We've had the privilege of meeting @davechoate a few Summers ago in Soho, New York. The self taught painter started out as an abstract expressionist who has since transitioned into eccentric portraiture of pop culture icons. We're showcasing a wide range of his work in our upcoming holiday issue. #davechoate #basquiat #needsandwantspaper #joinourconversation

During a trip to New York, we discovered abstract expressionist Dave Choate on the streets of Soho; a self taught and self proclaimed "late bloomer" best known for his minimal yet eccentric portraits. We were in a bit of a hurry that afternoon and I somehow never made it back his way to pick up a couple prints. Shucks. You can check out more of his work HERE
