Greg “CRAOLA” Simkins is an established Los Angeles-based fine artist known for his intricate and inspiring paintings, drawings, & wall graffiti, most of which can be best categorized as Escapism. After noticing his wall art in various places around town, Ones To Watch approached Craola for more insight into his creative process.
What we ended up with is a playlist of Craola’s top “20 Songs For Painting,” as well as more details on where he draws influence for his work. This The Artist Series piece is meant as a muse for those seeking inspiration in either art or music, because as we all know, they go flawlessly hand in hand.
Listen to the playlist & read our Q&A with Craola here.
I will have a new 5 ft. x 4 ft. painting in the "Crime on Canvas" group art exhibition which will be part of the Life is Beautiful Art & Music Festival coming up in Las Vegas. I will post a photo of my new painting here soon!
