This past weekend, AM attended the opening of Greg “Craola” Simkins‘ (featured) newest show “Inside the Outside” at New York’s Joshua Liner Gallery. Our anticipation has been building ever since we brought you a preview from Greg’s Los Angeles based studio. At that time, only part of this body of work was complete and apparently it was only the tip of the iceberg.

Ever the diligent perfectionist, Greg works to push his technical skills a little bit further each time we see his work. As we observed from his mythical “discovery channel” meets fantasy pieces for this show, only he can conjure up images of nature melting into imagination (or is it the other way around?). As expected, many of Greg’s east coast fans made the trip out to meet their favorite artist and of course, he took the time greet every single one.

Check out the great opening after the jump.
