In this episode of Fork in the Road, I chat with Chris Choi, the artist behind Mecha Panda, about his incredible return to art after a decade-long break—and how he taught himself to sculpt.
We talk honestly about:
- The transition from drawing and painting to sculpture
- The spontaneous creative process behind his eerie, beautiful creations
- Why he blends beauty with horror
- The real struggle of building a sustainable art career
- Why community and human connection are still everything
If you’re an artist navigating your own path—or curious about the ups and downs of a creative life—this conversation is for you.
