Greg “Craola” Simkins has an interview in the December issue of Blisss! Magazine. I guess you can pick one of them up in any skate/surf shop for free. I don’t have any type of shop near me, so luckily there is some pretty big images of the interview. It would be nice to have the mag for collecting sake though.

Greg “Craola” Simkins latest solo show at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles is now online to view. The show is completely sold out, save for some prints and a limited edition vinyl toy. The show looks amazing, there is a huge amount of work and the presentation makes me wish I was able to see this show in person.
The print “Knight Watch” (shown) from the show is a giclee on stretched canvas print, 24″ x 36″. It is hand signed and numbered in an edition of 30. That is one massive print, and the idea that it is already stretched is killer. You just pop it up on your wall and enjoy. Not sure how long these will last.
Head on over and check out the show. Craola at Gallery 1988 LA
