Extraordinary visual artist Chor Boogie has created gorgeous mural artwork throughout California & the world. Chor Boogie has emerged from a turbulent youth – after living on the streets, battling heroin addiction, spending time in jail & going “to hell and back” a few times – to become a world renowned spray paint muralist who has created large scale artwork for public enjoyment in several countries across the world.

One of his more prominent works, “The Color Therapy of Perception”, is a 100-foot mural commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission’s “Arts in Storefronts” project to improve the city’s blighted Tenderloin neighborhood.[14][15] While painting that work he was stabbed by thieves trying to steal his tools of communication. Mayor Gavin Newsom visited Chor Boogie in the hospital, and helped complete the painting.
