Los Angeles based Street and Fine Artist Greg Craola Simkins is prepping for a solo show entitled “Stop Haunting Me”. He was “raised on cartoons, well written stories, animal planet, graffiti, tattoos and mind numbing trips to grandma’s house,” says he on his Facebook page, and you can verify his penchant for escapism in his astonishingly well-rendered work over the last decade.
To help get the word out his buddy Medvin Sobio has created an underwater slo-mo haunting promo. Truth is, the luscious and operatic mediation is so far from the field that it’s in the ocean. ” It’s not your typical “street art” video I know, but I always feel that change is good,” says Medvin. Here are some screenshot gems from the piece, followed by the video.
