Raleigh coffee shop displays stunning charcoal portraits painted by employee

DEVOTION.

>> I'M USING CHARCOAL PART OF

THE DRAW AND SHE CONTEMPLATES

OR PRAY EAST. PERHAPS IT'S BEEN

A HARD LINE, BUT SHE HAS

SURVIVED AND HE HAS TO I WILL

KILL BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GROWING.

>> I HOPE THAT SHE IS NOT SO

HAPPY, BUT IT'S ONLY A MOMENT A

MOMENT FROZEN FOREVER IN

CHARCOAL.

>> A PERSON AN EXPRESSION, THE

EYE, THE FACES THAT TOGETHER

TELL THE STORY OF THE ARTIST,

HIS NAME IS I I AND MY FAMILY

IS A POOR FAMILY. A PORTRAIT

OF HIS YOUNGER SELF. HE GREW UP

IN THAILAND, ONE OF 8 CHILDREN.

THEY SHARED ONE NORMAL KID.

BUT I LOVE TO BROADENING.

YEAH. I WORKED AT A COFFEE SHOP

AND WRONG. BLACK IVORY.

>> BUT FOR HIM, LIFE BEGINS

AFTER COFFEE. WHEN THE DRAW.

HE TAUGHT HIMSELF HOW TO DRAW,

HE WOULD GO TO THE PUBLIC

MARKET IN THAILAND AND WATCH

OTHER ARTISTS THAT, PAM, I'M

NOT GOOD. YOU KNOW, OUT THE

DAD. I'M JUST SO PROUD OF THESE

FOLKS PROPERTIES. HE DID HAVE

A DREAMY. HIS SOUL CRIED OUT

TO BE AN ARTIST, BUT IN

THAILAND TO THE FUTURE WAS SO

PAINFULLY BE NICE AND THAT YOU

PILOT A WHOLE LOT OF NEW

PEOPLE, SALE AND NEEDED SIGNS

THIS IN 1997. HE RECEIVED NEWS

A PROMISING TIP ABOUT A THAI

RESTAURANT IN AMERICA IN NEED

OF HELP.

>> HOPE IF HE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH

TO TRUST THE FUTURE READY DOES

NOT GO TO A DOES THAT GO?

HE ARRIVED IN NORTH CAROLINA

VIA FLORIDA SPEAKING ALMOST NO

ENGLISH, BUT HIS ART DID SPEAK

TO HIM STILL, EVEN AFTER

WORKING ALL DAY, EVERY DAY AT

RESTAURANTS AND WAREHOUSES,

HE WAS STILL DRAWN TO A DRAW.

I LIKE TO DRAW IN A BALL OR

PEOPLE POOR PEOPLE.

>> I LOVE TO GO. YOU CAN LET

YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE BECAUSE I

LOVE THE CO 2.

>> MUSIC PLAYS ACROSS THE

COFFEE SHOP AND YY STEALS A

FEW DISEASE. SO DIFFICULT FOR

ME. SO HIGH FOR ME.

>> WE CAUGHT I DON'T HAVE

ANYBODY HERE.

>> AND I'M NOT HE WILL BE

RELEASED

>> IN THE FACE IS ON THE WALLS.

THERE IS SO MUCH EXPRESS AND

YET SOME THINGS MISSING.

>> PRICE TANK AND HAVE YOU SOLD

MANY OF YOUR PIECES HERE KNOW

I WON THE PEOPLE ENJOY TOO.

AND WHY YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK

ABOUT PROFIT. YOU WANT TO THINK

ABOUT THE ARES? YES. HOW I FEEL

ABOUT THAT PEAK. THEN I PUT

>> SHE MAKES COFFEE AND EVEN

THE COFFEE IS ITS OWN. ARE.

IT IS HIS MURALS IN THE COFFEE

SHOP, THE COLORS AND THE

CULTURES AND THE MARKETPLACE

AND THE FACES OF THE EYE.

I BET THE PEOPLE MUST LOVE YOUR

ARTWORK. I HOPE SO,
