[@AlvinLai]

I have to stop watching to get my inhaler…you’re taking my breath away.

[@Torta--is--PLUR]

I would love to see this as your next blanket. So vibrant and amazing

[@GregSimkinsArt]

It's on the list, but we have a couple others coming before it:)

[@mordacahwiston2025]

When we speak of reality we look what's in front of us physically but our imagination gives us the ability to open up new worlds

[@richvanatte3947]

What I find interesting about your work is you can obviously create wonderful works of art, but you push that into a sense of wonder. Watching you create like this is inspiring and leaves a lasting impression. Thank you for sharing your World.

[@gremics-gallery]

Ordered Chaos in the wonderful oddity of the Craola Universe. 🌌I liked the tea cup jacuzzi our little card solider is enjoying.

[@Kehlchen75]

Ich könnte dir stundenlang zuschauen. Danke, das wir teilhaben und einen Blick über deine Schulter werfen dürfen. Genuss pur. 🥰🫶🏻

[@qbantijero]

Just when you think there is enough detail, he adds an incredible amount more. Absolutely amazing!!!

[@k.gebhard6686]

I can‘t stand to see the whole viedeo. It‘s so incredable!

[@carmenbootArt]

Forgot to say ….. Thank you for a moment of been present in the here and now. Nothing else in my head but following the process of making something with meaning. 😊

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

Just wow on the feathers. Wow on the imagination, as well. And talent.

[@McKayla-Lane]

Like in renaissance you are a master to follow and there is so munch to learn from your tech...thanks!!!!

[@biror1135]

You are the best modern artist in the world in my opinion. I'm trying to learn that level of skill in my paintings for many years now, but i'm not even close to your level and this is a good thing, because you motivate me to keep learning. Thank you for these amazing paintings i hope one day i can afford one of your originals.

[@carolhannah8374]

Your talent leaves me speechless...

[@Artthoujim]

Besides from the immense creativity. Adding the green tone to the inner shadows of the white rose to match the green of the insect was a highlight. Truly amazing painter and an inspiration

[@DrawingCyberpunk]

Oooooohhhhh you got no idea how relaxing is watching you make your art. Everytime is a journey through the fantasy world. Your fantasy world 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍

[@carmenbootArt]

If I had to choose in between a blockbuster premier and one of your videos. I will choose your videos.😊😊😊😊 Amazing, inspiring,you have golden hands. Keep on creating, wat you do is really amazing.

[@yaroslavakhrystuk1932]

Sei solo Talento !!! Le tue immagini solo così perfette e reali che mi sembra di essere entrata in un mondo parallelo, che è ideale, Pacifico ed esiste.Tutto è pensato nel minimi dettagli. Com’è bello vedere come tutto rinasce in modo fantastico è tutto prende vita con i suoi colori, al suo posto. Il mondo dell’amore e della perfezione. Grazie per i momenti di felicità e oblio.Sono un fan della tua arte, del tuo talento . 💖🥰

[@doodlingbunny5642]

Mesmerising just watching you tackle each part of the painting, blending and glazing to build up the forms, changing color options on the fly and then adding all those intricate, painstaking details. Wow! Just wow!

[@Woak.1]

This is absolutely incredible! 🔥🔥🔥

[@AwkwardBirb]

The way you make these fantastical creatures look like something that I could just reach in and pick up out of the canvas…. Amazing doesn’t even start to cover it ❤

[@jjfordingpoursoulstudios8581]

Dude! Not only do you have absolutely insane painting skills, the level of your imagination for your painting subjects is other worldly! There are not enough hallucinogens on earth for my imagination to even pull up along side you. Mad respect.

[@bryananthony2080]

You have one of the most imaginative minds I’ve seen

[@travisgardner8713]

Impressive asa,ways. You inspire me every time I watch one of your videos. I did a study of the older painting that is similar to this one and shared on Instagram about a year ago. I tagged your account and I got a like from you. It made my day. So much respect for your grind and what you create. Keep it up. For all of us out here hanging on to the dream of making it.

[@edemaradefreitasrussoboog3378]

Uauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Que espetaculo ❤

[@regiealquizalas5043]

Your videos helped me a lot to pull myself back to creating art.

[@ArtOfJCBenson]

Loved seeing your set up at the begining. The whole process unfolded beautifully.

[@brianahawkins8124]

Beautiful.

[@hySunfuls]

이렇게나 멋지고 좋은 작품들을 만드는 과정을 볼 수 있다니 정말이지 영광입니다. 이상학적인 괴수의 모양새와 고요한 넘치는 동물 모습의 조화까지 정말이지 완벽하다고 생각되는 작품이었습니다. 굉장히 좋은 작 품 잘 보고 갑니다.

Hi. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a New Yorker living abroad!). All I can say is... WOW! AMAZING! AWESOME! The story is just beautifully and simlessly put together... everything in the composition tells the story...

Loving this. When Craola image comes along...such as the watch at 21:09 it gives me great satisfaction. Octopus! White Rabbit! Playing Cards! Love your work

[@muppetbat8053]

Thank you so much, I love when you do these. So inspiring!

[@JamesDeGaris]

I love watching these painting videos so much! It's both calming to watch, and gives me a sense of otherworldly wonder. I can't wait to get one of your prints I purchased framed up to go on my wall.

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

Wow!! I am a newbie and this is the first opportunity I have had to watch. I truly must go back and experience it again. And yes, I do say experience, because that is exactly what watching you create such utter magic accompanied by the most dynamic music is. Honestly, I would pay for a ticket to see it again!! I found you quite accidentally after following along with the route of one of your challenges as it had landed in James Gurney's magical hands. You sir, are right up there with James, a true master of your craft. There are not enough adjectives or superlatives to describe what you do. Let me leave it at unbelievably exquisite and say that I am so looking forward to seeing your other videos. I can only imagine what other treasures yet await. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your blessed talent 🙏

[@dianaclift9271]

You are so very talented and your imagination is being belief. Amazing artwork, thank you for sharing 🙂

[@figaroismycat]

How much stuff do you plan in advance? Because you often do complete paint of an area or subject only to cover it up with more additions as you go. I've seen some of your preliminary sketches, and I understand that some parts are easier to do in full instead of filling in bits. Also follow up question, do the different characters have some deeper symbolism or is it just some abstract nature of your outside universe. Perhaps you have an artbook or something that we can look through. ✨ Anyway exceptionally amazing art as always.

[@FlatulentBreeze]

I've watched others who combine objects, animals, etc... And they are really good at it. But it always comes off as a little silly. Like this can't be real but here it is anyway. The difference between them and you is yours are real, just from another dimention. They are not silly, just different, but completely natural in the plane they exist in. I've read a book by a now passed on author who did the same thing with words. I'm pretty sure both of you can/could see into those dimentions. If I ever get rich I'll be trying to commission an original. Thank you for a half hour well spent and more to come when I show this to others. Keep on seeing.

[@GregSimkinsArt]

Thank you for the kind comment🙏 I appreciate it!

Magnífico!, tienes un nivel de ilustración supremo, además ilustrar con ese detalle extremo con acrílicos, no es fácil, es una técnica que demanda habilidad, agilidad, calidad y muy buen manejo del pincel, así como la técnica del color. Saludos desde Villahermosa, Tabasco, México!

[@margoadias]

Before you paint, is there a light sketch that you use foe a guideline? Are you using a reference picture?

Do you have a certain gamut of colors you use in each painting, or just whatever colors you come up with at the time is what you use?
