A year ago, we lost our beloved friend, Morgan Walker. The 4th of July would have marked his 40th birthday. Morgan was a supportive, generous and hilarious rascal. Above all that, he was a kind soul and to honor him, I’m releasing this print from my painting, entitled “Flyer”. All the net proceeds go to an account set up for his kids. We love you and miss you Morgan.

“Morgan Walker, now a “Flyer,” left this world far too soon, but his legacy and memories of the amazing, funny, wise man he was will always be with us. He was a moral compass to those who knew him, which is why I put a compass in the wise owl pointing to true North. Morgan always liked my painting backgrounds where strange creatures swam through the sky. I wanted to include that element here to honor him. His love of hockey, hot rods, and punk rock music were really fun elements to highlight in this piece. The “flyer on the wall” is my idea of what would have been his ultimate punk rock show: Misfits, with The Deviates opening for them at the Wolves Den (an old venue in Manhattan beach that The Deviates and other friends’ bands used to always play at) on his birthday. His name on the flyer is painted in the style of "Minor Threat", another favorite band of his. Painting his Coupe on the wall was a particularly satisfying element. I don't think I've ever painted a car and I think he would have been really stoked the first one was for him. He was such a supportive friend as I transitioned from our group of young punks into the art career that I am still learning and growing in, always secretly buying prints and surprising me at my shows. I first met Morgan about 25 years again when our side of Torrance challenged him and and his best friends in the band “Deviates” (which all considered him the 5th member of) to a city wide water balloon war! We all became very close friends that summer and I will never forget our adventures for the rest of my life. REST IN PEACE my friend.” - Greg “CRAOLA” SIMKINS #RIPMORGANWALKER
