I have never seen an artist paint something so surreal, yet at the same time so life like and realistic! I am always captivated by the strange and incredible worlds this man creates :0

[@dyakobe]

Your choice of music is always as amazing as your paintings man! It gives me this mysterious nostalgic feeling that I can't fully explain.

[@basicsyphilis8]

That it is.....

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

I just watched this for the first time. And that is what came to mind for me too!

[@chriswalls443]

Perfect

[@groundswelllegitcoffeeandb3810]

Although I find this particular piece disturbing to look at, I still find Craola's talent and skill in painting it to be undeniable!! He's definitely one of the best! I totally dig his video and his channel!

[@myyoutubeaccount8323]

The snail looks like my manager at Old Navy hahaha

[@0122za]

Wow!!!😍so great art👏👏👍💚💚💚💚💚😍😍

[@JrunkJesus]

This makes me want to quit drawing forever and go lay down in traffic. Amazing!

[@Murasakiii]

Me too lol I was about to start drawing. As he was finishing his masterpiece I said "maybe another day" lol

[@joe521]

Dont quit man you'll be up there one day too. Stay at it.

[@te9591]

Why? If anything this guys work makes you want to create regardless of quality.

[@jessicabauer9225]

I know right ! Me too !

[@DJcyberslash]

That's a bad thing...

[@thegeorgiealityshow359]

I have no idea how I missed this video? You are truly fearless! I was floored by the detail and the freedom you have, without hesitation, to cover it up with something else that's just as amazing! Thank you for being you man. Consistently putting me in awe. Big ups!

[@jacotromp59581]

2 years ago your work was some of the most amazingly beautiful work there was for me, now your current work makes the work from 2 years ago look bad. Your growth has been astonishing.

[@mrmusikman8298]

[@GianniIandolo]

[@adammoran163]

I've been painting for most of my life, I've watched several of your amazing videos and I still can't figure out exactly which part of your brain allows you to come up with these creations.

[@carlosuman3634]

[@lindsaydeclute714]

I’ve been binge watching your incredible videos since last night and WOW so beautiful and unique!! I wish I had a lot of money because I’d buy all the originals!!

[@thisisnecessary8835]

I just told my wife to shut the f front door.... it’s cold and I’m tryin to watch this dude paint. I got an old art table that I put all my old garbage pale card on all scattered with some other stuff I’d sketched and drew, glued them down and poureda 1/8 inch acrylic over it.

[@emilvaldivia]

for sure! greg is one of the best modern surrealist in our generation. watching his videos makes me want to paint again! Great job keep doing such beautiful artworks!

[@mrmusikman8298]

I have an idea for a painting. You know the sayings like "dont cry over spilled milk" "don't sweat the small stuff" "don't bit off more than you can chew" "don't bit the hand that feeds you" etc..... Maybe you could paint a few of those phrases with some characters in a few of those scenarios. For example: Cookie monster crying over spilled milk while he has a mouth full of cookies. A character sweating perfusely over something tiny. I think you out of anyone I follow could make a few scenes in one painting and would be amazing. Anyway, think about it.

[@gtattooing2241]

Stunning

[@johannebeerbaum1546]

Love it……makes my happy!

[@edroseptic9442]

[@jasonsadliberty1503]

Luke 10:19...." BEHOLD FOR I HAVE GIVEN YOU POWER, to tread upon all the scorpions and serpents of the world, and by no means shall anything ever harm you !".... This is also meant for all the demons of fear, and insecurities that artists have that they are not good ENOUGH ‼️...believe in yourself guys!...If your gift from God is art, it is your life's duty to culture and nurture that gift, not being afraid of making mistakes, and to continue the path you know you were chosen for... ****Astounding work here with this piece!!....you are the modern day equivalent of Salvadore Dali, Picasso, and Rembrandt all rolled into ONE!!!....THANKYOU for giving us these beautiful examples of your gift‼️🏁❤️‼️‼️❤️

[@qxtoi]

Never been this early! You're the friggin man, man! I love just zoning out and letting my imagination go wild while watching your videos. I love your art so much! Keep up the trippy amazing creativeness!

[@austinwelch2315]

Literally looked up the card on eBay. Need this art in my collection

[@RobertF-]

I believe in reincarnation and I think he was an artist in a past life and that's why he's so talented at painting.

[@brianmulford2061]

Truly one of the great creators of our time. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@felipegarzon4324]

Eres un genio amigo, me inspiras a pintar cada vez que te veo

[@adammorris9008]

You're an amazing artist, without question, but sometimes the low-key MVP of your videos is the music selection.

[@artgeometrix6346]

Really good painting. Great detail. Also I really like this music.

[@grimnastytv]

Now they have to hire Craola to paint all of them otherwise the whole series will suffer in comparison

[@GregSimkinsArt]

The whole set looks awesome. I like the individual takes on all the cards:)

[@grimnastytv]
