Where Am I

In ‘Where Am I’, Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins creates a mythical landscape inspired by childhood curiosity and awe. The title is a nod to Simkin’s graffiti roots as a part of WAI* and can also read as a dual reaction to entering fantastical lands bewildering and unknown. Simkin paints a world he calls ‘The Outside’, an uninhibited setting where reveries hit the canvas at full speed. Anthropomorphized animals and fanciful critters explore and rebel on a grand scale in an alternate reality where fish fly and birds can swim.

*WAI Crew – A 90’s group of north american graffiti artists.
