Artist of the Month Greg Simkins- Craola

By Missy Perkins

Genesis Art Supply recently had the opportunity to show Greg“CRAOLASimkins’ 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

Streets: Greg “Craola” Simkins x Lyte (Redondo Beach)

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...
