- Trekell Pro Team Artist, "Greg "Craola" Simkins, documents his journey for his latest exhibit "Where Am I?" from the start of panel making at the Trekell factory all the way up to the opening of his show.
"I have been blessed and lucky enough to work with Trekell for many years now and I am always blown away at how obsessed they are with making the best quality product for artists. They truly do care about what goes into the tools they design and deliver to us and I have the utmost respect for them. When the topic of painting surfaces came up, I gave them my criteria to what I like to work on and they immediately went to work to replicate the panels that my Dad, George, has been making for me for many years. They even sat down with him to hear his outlook on what does and doesn’t work when making panels to paint on. That’s where the G.H.Simkins Panels came from. They are light weight and sturdy and look nice enough to hang directly on a wall even without a frame.
When I told Trekell that I had a solo show coming up, the idea arose to film the entire life cycle of the largest painting for the show which became “Where Am I”. We wanted to document the piece starting with the stretching of the Linen over the panel which would become the enormous 8 foot by 6 foot beast in my show. Our field trip took us to the Trekell warehouses which felt a little bit like Willy Wonkas’ Chocolate factory to me. Watching the brushes get made and seeing the stacks of panels just ready to be painted filled my head with ideas. With the helpful eye of my dad we got about it and stretched the largest of the canvas wrapped panels for the show. Once all the canvases had been delivered, it was my turn to turn it into what you see in this video.
The Trekell portrait linen wrapped panels are by far the best surfaces I have ever painted on. They are sturdy and can take a beating, they have a great surface for precision painting and they clean up with a nice side and look great on a wall, even unframed. We hope you enjoy this process video of the creation of “Where Am I” and look forward to your feedback on your experience with this great surface."

It’s like putting Allison Wonderland Walt Disney and psycho into a blender and just Pouring it out on To a canvas. Absolutely breathtaking my eyes don’t know where to look and feel like I’m going to miss something there so much to look at.

В траве сидел кузнечик, совсем как огуречик , зелененький он был, и с мухами дружил...
Ето ты про Зеленского ?🤣
he paints in a style that reminds me of collating with unlikely combinations but paints them instead of cutting out.

Hello from Russia😊
I hope you sold out that show!!
Absolutely love this. I was absorbed into it like a dry sponge in water. Nightmarish, whimsical, your use of colors and placement are beautiful in and of themselves. Your themes are dreamlike, and your subject matter are a shade of psychotic Dr. Seuss. Amazing.
Fantastic!!! I like your artwork alot and it realy inspires me. Congrats👏🏼! Big compliments!
Incredible art pieces❣️wish I was closer to your showings💖love them all💖💖💖💖💖
I'm just in awwww, transported to another land far, far away... Ahhhh I relax.
Modern day surrealist master
not really the skills, but the imagination is what gets me most about his work...any idea how he gets his ideas? the thoughts process would be interesting to see into
personally i think its an adults interpretation of children's stories, simple but given a more mature "edgey" look. It really transports the view to a fantasy land.
pop culture , cartoons ,graffitis , his skills are amazing too .
Check out Patrick Woodruff and Josh Kirby, they are quite similar in style so maybe he gets ideas from them as they’ve been around since the 90’s
Ady it's a mixture of imagination and overlapping ancient mythology from the view point of freemason overlords.
Yeah his ideas are so strange they remind me a bit of a film called Alice in wonderland. What it mainly looks like he has done is he has added animals and object together, it's very surreal I love his art.
