Dan Levy sits down with artist Greg “Craola” Simkins at Comic-Con 2014 about I’m Scared: The Movie!, a new stop-motion film they’re working on.
“If my early 20′s self were asked to put together a top 10 playlist, out of my insecurities, I would probably just stick to one genre’ with the misguided belief that by hiding my real taste in music, my peers wouldn’t make fun of me. If I look back, I was deeply into hip-hop through the 80s- to the beginning of the 90′s then made a hard turn to Punk and Rock in about 91-92 and just sat there for a while. The older I have gotten and the more I sit in front of a canvas and sample music in the background, I am completely all over the place with no more boundaries or genre´ loyalties, so here is a mis-shapen list of some songs that I enjoy driving to or painting and drawing to.”
- Greg “CRAOLA” Simkins

“I haven’t been this excited to share something since “Show and Tell” In Kindergarden. So here goes and I think you will find that each song was selected for it’s ability to inspire as you pack your backpack with paint for a day at the wall. I have assembled these gems from the least greatest to shining star, however I think you will agree that each one deserves to be at the top of some list.” HAHAHAHA
