Eff Yeah!!!

Like a sledgehammer to your funny bone, The Chung!! uses his unique brand of off-beat humor to examine the inevitable misfortunes and disappointments that accompany all of our lives and finds a glimmering ray of light therein. His work reminds us to step back, stop taking ourselves so seriously, and use the moment to laugh at our failures, because after all, feeling sorry for ourselves never got anyone anywhere. David Chung, affectionately known as The Chung!!, lives in Los Angeles yet works out of some dark, strange corner of the human imagination that the rest of us generally knows to stay away from. His artwork, filled with humor and awkwardness, is a sort of catharsis for the moments of humiliation which inevitably stain all of our lives. The Chung!! has shown in galleries all over Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and parts of Europe. He currently works full time during the day as a Background Designer for Nickelodeon and a fine artist by night.Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") is a neologism for the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French language word "le gicleur" meaning "nozzle", or more specifically "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". It was coined in 1991 by Jack Duganne, a printmaker working in the field, to represent any inkjet-based digital print used as fine art. The intent of that name was to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the type of fine art prints artists were producing on those same types of printers. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints.Steal this Art was created as way to bring artists and art-lovers on a budget, together. Every day a new print goes up for sale at a ridiculously low price. It’s so low, that you are basically stealing it. To eliminate the high cost of custom framing and to keep it budget friendly, each print is sized to fit in a standard sized frame. The prints are super limited and only for sale for 24 hours. Once they sell out, or time’s up, they will never be available to steal again. Artists typically don’t make too much money by selling prints. They have to pay up front for printing them, and then it takes a while to sell, which means it takes a while to recover the costs of producing them and decreases their profits. At Steal this Art, we handle producing the art prints on-demand, and they are only sold for one day. This keeps costs low, and eliminates the overhead incurred by artists, so all they need to worry about are the profits.
