After years of being locked up in solitude with only the voices in his head to entertain him, Greg "Craola" Simkins emerged into a world of even greater monsters than the ones under his bed. In an effort to get back to the places in his head, Greg paints. Finally giving faces to the voices and a world for them to live in.

So in no particular order, here are some pics from my recent show, "The Pearl Thief". Yes, most of the images I pirated from around the web, so thanks to those who were kind enough to cover the show (Gallery 1988, Daily Dujour, Arrested Motion, Hi Fructose). If you attended the opening reception and the photographers snagged a photo of you at the front door, you can view your photo at www.imscared.com. You can also check out the full exhibition here.
