Urban Vinyl Daily Interview

I have the honor of being Urban Vinyl Daily's featured artist of the month:

After a drought of not bringing the loyal readers interviews with artists within the community, we thought we’d come back with a bang and make our next interview a big one. We happy to announce that our latest interview is with the one and only Greg “Craola” Simkins who has imagination that only some of us can dream of. We are happy to have caught Craola when he had a little time to spare to allow us all a little inside the inner workings of his mind. So, without further ado, we bring you the interview with Greg “Craola” Simkins HERE.

Special releases coming SOON!

We will be having some very special releases coming soon - just in time for Christmas! In addition to some new and rare prints, we are doing a special release of Simkins' sold out "Drawn from the Well" book which will include an original SURPRISE drawing! Limited quantities will be available. Subscribe to our email list for details to be announced soon.
