Especially since he is polluting in the video... LOL. In real life, him and his family are rad. The connection is Pete Wentz and Jensen Karp (G1988, Hot Karl... LOL)

Greg is on the cover of the new Jux, which is now at newstands.

In this case, the newstand cover is way more appealing than the subscriber version actually.

WOW !!! I went right out and purchased the JUXTAPOSE __Oct. issue that is pictured in reply #167 above. GREG " CRAOLA " SIMKINS __text by J. Frede. It's fantastic with 8 pages of reproductions in color of his artworks (plus, a two page photo of the artist). Can't wait to sit down later and relax while I read the entire article. This made my day.....THANKS__lowpro__for turning me on to this current issue. Another reason to visit this website often (the updated info is valuable to say the least). Hope other members here go out and get this JUXTAPOSE mag. before they sell out all the copies ( I think this issue is going to be a collector item ).

Finally, I made time to relax and read the article on GREG SIMKINS....what a treat !!
After reading this article I don't think I'll ever look at clouds the same way again. For this
artist's imagination the sky IS THE LIMIT. Lord help us if and when he ever explodes beyond
the limits of the big blue one with white puffs floating by. If Greg Simkins ever reaches out
into the galaxy we are all going to live with infinite joy. His art is something to behold indeed!
In fact, the infinite joy has already started. Try to read this fine article if possible the next time
you sit down to relax.
