Snake-like monsters, gloomy creatures, skulls and other unkind-looking creatures are characters in paintings by another author of psychedelic painting. Thanks to his insane kitsch and warped perception of reality, an artist named Greg Simkins (Greg Simkins) has a special position in the list of creators of unusual paintings.
It's amazing that the American diva of pop surrealism Camille Rosa Garcia, whom we told you about as recently as yesterday, did not meet Greg Simkins on her way - a person with a definitely kindred spirit. Looking at what these artists create individually, it is scary to imagine what works would have been born if they had created a creative tandem. And here, in fact, and the work of our character:
And who would have thought that as a child little Greg watched cartoons, read fairy tales and was generally a kind and obedient boy who believed in Santa and was afraid of "the one who lives under the bed"! Although, who knows, maybe it was these "bedside monsters" that influenced the child's psyche so much that at the age of 18 he began to create outlandish graffiti on the walls and fences of city streets, signing with the pseudonym Craola. This occupation, however, so captivated the young man that he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the art studio of California State University in Long Beach.
Simkins' clients include celebrities such as Disney and Mattel, Vans and Converse, and has contributed to the Tony Hawk 2X, Spiderman 2 and Ultimate Spiderman computer games. look at his site with the "telling" name I`m scared.

It seems that a person sometimes forgets that he is not the only master of the planet and that wild animals literally coexist next to our cities and villages.
