Below the clouds, below the gaze of the western cliffs, and the abandoned place where the mist is thick and the echoes stir, out of the wetness a change occurs. He leaves the sea in his brand new form, once a mer, now dinosaur! - Greg "CRAOLA" Simkins

"Star light, star bright, first stars I see toKnight..."
The Starry Knights are the gifted watchers and keepers of “The Outside”. They are a group compiled of all the creatures which have found themselves lost through portals into this whimsical place. Becoming part of the "Starry Knights" is an honor bestowed on all those who enter and are willing to learn the ways of The Outside. Magi and Maret are the brothers who have given their lives to welcome and instruct those who have found themselves stuck Outside.

I’m proud to present my newest painting video of “Foggy Knight”. This video is a time-lapse demonstration of what can be achieved with acrylic on canvas. My paintings tend to tie together as snapshots from various parts of an overarching story. I view them as chapter headings or "coming soon" movie posters that highlight some of what you might experience when diving into this world. Here is just a little glimpse of "The Outside":
Below the clouds, and below the gaze of the western cliffs and the abandoned place. Where the fog is thick and the echoes stir, then out of the wetness, a change occurs. He leaves the sea in his brand new form. Once a "Mer", now dinosaur! This Foggy Knight counts on the sound, of thunder and waves, crashing around. They hide his entrance. he carries out his task. To bring news to The Gardner of the Fool-King in the mask. His friends are all close; they shepherd him forth. Because strength in numbers will deliver him north. Where a group of knights of the order of stars, gather together on a beach not too far. And what is the topic, the conversation at hand? Where are all the children? Why have they left this land? And who is this charmer who feels like a viper? Is he a minstrel? Is he a piper? This group that gathers will do all they can, To get back the children and defeat this dark-Pan. It will take an army to fight his army of frights, So assembled in numbers, are the brave Starry Knights!
- Greg “CRAOLA” Simkins
Did you know that my custom hand-painted limited edition box sets are set up to be framed hang-able wall art as well? They also have a secret lying just behind the panel. There are just a few left so I felt like a quick video on these pieces created fro my latest self-titled book was appropriate. Click here for more info!
