This guy is great. I have no art training or education but Greg Simkins amazes me. Surrealism meets Tim Burton meets Alice in Wonderland is the best way I can describe it.

He does oil painting and graffiti, both are shown on his site. Also designs clothing for upper playground and toys as well.

"It Wanders"

"Knight Watch"

My favorite artist by far.

he does the occasional random tattoo as well. Great artist.

If you like Simkins I suggest,

Mark Ryden
Mars 1
Camilla Rose Garcia
Todd Schorr

I have a few others I cant think of off the top of my head too.

Inline ever heard of CBS? That's where Craola got this start and influence. Many of us pushed him to expand beyond what he was comfortable with. Street arte por vida..La Otra Droga

Ive heard of alex pardee and mars 1. I like Jeff Soto and blaine fontana as well. Mi Ju has some really nice stuff, this korean girl i believe. Damon Soule's work is really cool as well.

Never heard of CBS, is it street artist clique or something?

Yes it is a crew/ clique. There have been a lot of talented influences in this Krew. Have you've ever been to Melrose avenue in west hollywood? In the back alleys there is a collection of works done in aerosol. You are into gallery work only, right? You should check out some street art. You'd be amazed.
