Using fable-like characters and intense detail, the renowned artist has set a large impression on the different areas of today's art scene. With over 10 years of experience in street art, Simkins has made the rare, seamless transition into the world of fine art.

Genesis Art Supply recently had the opportunity to show Greg“CRAOLA”Simkins’ artwork in a group digital art exhibition during Miami Art Basel, called “NO WALLS”. Digital images of about 18 artists from across the country were displayed on large high-resolution plasma screens throughout Haven Lounge in South Beach. I was truly floored by how captivating CRAOLA’s pieces looked on screen and could only imagine their impact in person. Read more at artsupply.com

Sleepboy from Arrested Motion shared photos taken by Birdman, of the wall I painted with LYTE on Monday....
After a successful showing that opened last month in Los Angeles (covered), Greg “Craola” Simkins (featured) went back to his roots recently and painted something on the streets of Redondo Beach. Collaborating with Lyte/THC, a fellow crew member from CBS, the duo beautified the wall with their letterforms while throwing out a shout out to 2SHAE in the process. View photos here...
I had the pleasure of painting the Container Yard with my buddy and crew members Self and Lyte a couple weeks ago. Big thanks to Jordan Ahern for capturing the day and making this video and to Landon Taylor for taking the pics! Happy New Year!
