Youtube’s Biggest Art Collab! now with Greg "Craola" Simkins!

[@TenHundred]

Well… life goal achieved. I am now on the same canvas as CRAOLA!!! You smashed this! And the next artist you chose shaped a huge part of my childhood imagination. This piece is becoming absolutely insane… I’m freaking out.

[@GregSimkinsArt]

Thank you for the opportunity to work on this project @tenhundred 🙏🙏🙏

[@HeidiSue60]

Yeah this is gonna be a good one! Excited to see the finished product AND each artist’s contribution.

[@jaimeg819]

How can we get a print of that Wanted poster. Everything looks amazing

[@michellecourtney780]

This entire collab has me on pins 📌 and needles 🪡. Love watching the progress of this collab.

[@moniquemarestein874]

I just do art, you all are artists.

[@Kiptoe]

Damn Craola this turned out super sick!! I love how you took us through the whole process and watching you paint your magic is a real treat. Your imagination is super inspiring and I love how you think. The smoke coming out of the bottle was a really cool idea and I love how you executed the rest of it. I am super honored to be sharing a canvas with you! And the next artist as well! I started crying!

[@GregSimkinsArt]

Thanks brother🤜🤛 I appreciate it! It was awesome getting to be Art of this! How sick was it to have James Gurney paint us in that wanted poster!?!?

[@thethrifteddragon8157]

Awww. Love how as artists, we look toward one another as inspiration. Like no one is too good an artist to do that, even though it's hard to imagine as awesome as you really are, that you tear up seeing one of your inspirations being added into the magical, creative mix. God bless you all and thank you so much for sharing that touching note.

[@Kiptoe]

@@GregSimkinsArt Jess and I were talking and saying we need him to make that a full blown poster so we can hang it up!! I need a copy!

[@8364687]

I cried As well !!

[@joannsoda2250]

Awe!!! You took the words right outta my mouth! I was on the edge of my seat!

[@artofjesskarp]

Greatest decision was to pass this over to you, Greg. Wow. What an exhilarating adventure. Your process, the concept, the hidden messages, the music, the comedy. I was on the edge of my seat with my heart racing! I had no doubt you would crush this and you absolutely exceeded the highest grounds. Thank you for sharing your one of a kind artist mind with us. What a gift to witness! I am so grateful for all of us to exist on one panel together as creatives and I sure hope the next artist definitely does not set it on fire 😏😂 Most magical collab to exist! 🔥#WANTEDARTGANG 🔥

[@ChuckLeeMBM]

HUGE FACTS!!!! So glad you sent it to this legend!!!

[@GregSimkinsArt]

Thanks so much Jess! Glad you picked me! It was a fun process:) looking forward to seeing how the piece wraps up😎😎😎👌👌👌

[@lyssasletters3232]

Simkins was such a great choice, Jess! This piece is turning out so cool!!!!!

[@kleocrow]

Literally it was a whole big extraordinary Vibe!!! Awesome decision!!!

[@ezekielabishai4200]

You really did make THEE greatest decision! This piece is going to be INSANE!

[@SMOENOVA]

it is getting better and better! holy cow!!! thanks for the great video, insane next artist + the end was so sweet - haha, your secret weapon 😂😂

[@GregSimkinsArt]

You're the best man!!!

[@slewp]

SO AMAZING

[@nattzart6601]

I honestly would never have found this channel if it wasn't for the art KZbin Collab, so glad I did though. Super cool work!

[@ears2see]

This is a first for me Brilliant 💡

[@Luxexxz_Art]

SAME!!!!

[@1grumppa]

Welcome to The Outside!

[@Stayedforthecat]

Same!!!!

[@aishaw132]

Same!!! Now I've bought prints and books and watch every video and doing studies. One of favorite artists!

[@JamesDeGaris]

James Gurney?! Wow! Part of me is wondering how he could incorporate his style into this painting, the other is so looking forward to find out! I love what you've brought to this painting. I'm such a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland (the rabbit, suits, numbers and pocket watch - amazing!).

[@joeblankenship377]

It's cool cuz he's been influential to all the artists that went before him. I wonder who HE is gonna pick.

[@jlgarcia72]

Kiptoe set the tone for this one, interweaving his design with the original. Each new addition has been masterfully integrated to this collaboration. The attention to detail and incorporation of the white rabbit was wonderful to watch. I can’t wait to see where Gurney takes this collaboration. Absolutely amazing work being done.

[@TheBubbas22]

Jesus Christ man. The value of that painting just skyrocketed. I've been a fan of yours for a while now. I've been a fan of tenhuns even longer. I love him for his graphic style. But he would agree, you are the artist artists aspire to be. To be able to do texture with such precision. Mixed with your story telling and pop culture references is magic. Your work is gorgeous. And the next artist is such a crazy pick. His name alludes me at the moment but I've only known him from his tiny paintings channel. Can't believe I didn't know he did those amazing books. Thank you for sharing your work. Peace and love.

[@aishaw132]

This is my introduction to Greg Simpkins Art and I've been following ever sense.

[@ibenblue3694]

When TenHun began this project, I was thinking that it would be epic if Greg got a piece of this collab, and here it is... It's unbelievable! This is now my favorite art collab to date. And it looks superb. 👌

[@paintedbydawn]

I'm SO glad you were included. You're my very favorite KZbin painter. Your artwork is aspirational and amazing.

[@skaughtmc6591]

Outstanding! I was nervous with how large and centered everyone else had gone, that there wasn’t room for much more than a background. I’m looking forward to how much Gurney paints over!

[@cmbcallum]

exactly, the last person used up way too much space. Basically made two pieces for the collab. Leaves a lot less space for the next people. I'm glad he went over some of it.

[@JustinSlick]

@@cmbcallum I think her hands anchor the piece beautifully though and her her work is gorgeous. If someone does a piece along the bottom there's a good chance some of her work will get covered and it will all balance out. There were 7 artists on the S1 canvas, and there's still plenty of room for 6 on this one. Ten Hun started off with a larger character than before, so I think it's totally reasonable if one fewer artist ends up in the piece.

[@cmbcallum]

@@JustinSlick the hands are good, no question about it. But that should have just been her piece. She then went in to add a rather large character right at the top too that has no relation to the hands. She made two pieces.

[@jlopezjrart]

This was awesome, can’t believe James Gurney is next, can’t wait to see what he does!

[@JohnAJohnson]

I'm so grateful I was introduced to your art because of this collaboration. I'll definitely be ordering some prints in the future your work is so mesmerizing. Choosing James Gurney as the next artist was so unexpected and amazing. I appreciate how you left plenty of space for others to be added though you could have easily added more of your beautiful work. James can fill up the rest with super cool dinos though right? ;

[@BZA38]

The idea of uniting friends - artists to create a collective masterpiece is very good in itself. I don’t know if you have any kind of agreement, but considering Greg’s work, I think it would be wise to have one. At least, if the next artist plans to overpaint the previous ones, they should consult with the whole team to avoid unpleasant surprises. The picture looked great from Jess’s start until the rabbit arrived. Greg, your staring bunny in a suit full of red hearts and a finely drawn watch spoiled the picture. I’m sorry, but that’s how I feel. Your individual work is amazing - very professional, but you probably forgot that you were creating a collective piece of art. In my opinion, before any of you picks up a brush, share your vision for the painting and discuss the details as it evolves. You all want to create a masterpiece, so let the surprises be for the viewers only. I wish your team continued creative success.

[@Lippitydo]

I love that the rabbit is coming out of the smoke, and that your style has a lot more realism to it than the other artists- it’s like the “fantasy” in this piece is realism, and I am here for it let me tell you

[@xmobile.]

I am beyond thrilled that you're part of this collaboration. I've been following you for years now and think it's insane more people don't know about you and follow on youtube. I get so excited to see your works and watch each step in how you create them.. you're probably my favorite living artist.. the way your lines flow.. the smoke, the clouds, the glossy objects, the harmonious colors and textures.. you're so very talented and it brings me so much joy!!!

[@johna426]

RIP to Jess Karps bird. Nice work man, glad I found your channel through this collaboration.

[@WeblightDreams]

Omg I LOVE Dinotopia. Love each piece that has been added but must say I am eager to see it's complition. Awesome Season 2.

[@linzertube]

Each artists’ style is so distinctive (including your own), yet, through story, you managed to connect your piece to the others’ work very cleverly. Unbelievable contribution to this amazing collab! Love it, and loved your choice of music…it felt very freaky Fantasia stuff to me! Your son’s appearance at the end was a treasure!

[@Aleczanderm]

Seeing this piece travel around my favorite artists. Now it going to James. This has got to be a simulation.

[@localcrow]

James Gurney! Can’t wait to see what he adds. I own his book on Color and lighting, couldn’t recommend it enough. Greg you inspired me to create art just like James did for you. Every time I see one of your videos I’m always reminded that I still have so much to learn.

[@highlysmiley2303]

Simkins use of shading, detail and layering was a big reason I ever excelled in my art. Having him as a youtuber sharing his process has been a blessing for me as an improving artist. When I seen the collaberation of the other few artist I watch then hand the baton to this man I thought only "NEXT LEVEL". I love to see the styles blend and surely was blown away by the finished piece. Another Legend in Gurney was an amazing addition esp with his world building. Amazing work as always and thank you for always sharing your work!

[@mrtohonoart]

I can’t believe you’re getting James Gurney to partake in this amazing collab!!

[@elliewithg]

Hooooooly shiiiiit!!!! James Gurney!!!! yeeees!!! Thank you for choosing him! I wanna cry with happiness! Can't wait!

[@ChuckLeeMBM]

DUDE!!!!! this is exactly what I expected!!! GREATNESS!! The way you layer blows my mind, and cant wait to see what James does with this. Again well done from a long time subscriber!!!!

[@Stayedforthecat]

The thing I love about these pieces is that every artist is genuinely trying to add to the piece and make it better instead of one up each other

[@springsy6210]

aahhhhhhhhhh! greg you are a madman..... and absolute genius! i dont know the last time ive been this excited about anything. thank you for being a part of this.

[@nickymartz]

I'm in awe with each artist. Truly and EPIC masterpiece so far.

[@headaweeks]

I loved when you beat the devil out of your brush!! 😆👍 LOOKS GREAT!!

[@ianlockett]

I’m so excited you asked James. What a great bunch of artists!

[@lissam2529]

Yessss can’t wait to see what you add to this! Love that Jess sent it to you... two of my favorite artists🧡

[@Semisleeper]

I've never seen your work before. It's amazing! I'm so glad to be on this journey with everyone! While you all seem to have similar sources of inspirations, you all have your own distinct styles.

[@beanbagthemeanbag1303]

Hell yes!!! I’m so happy you picked James Gurney. I was really hoping he’d be included in this collaboration!

[@marinawahl6727]

yeah🥳🥳🥳 finally the next part. so cool!!!

[@GregHallArt]

This is so awesome! Love how you tied it in with the rest. You have really put pressure on Mr. Gurney to do something good. Thanks for doing this!

[@peaceofpaperbindery]

I love how you guys are painting over each other to make everything cohesive. This is L E G I T. 😱😍🤯🤩

[@rockhoundingwithjasperblue]

Just WOW!!! How AWESOME!! And thanks for introducing us to the next artist. I am definitely going to check him out! 💎

[@bluedutchess6656]

This might be a typical trait for an artist, but it amazes me how you guys dare to go over each other's work the way you do! Ten Hundred said it was allowed, but I think my own ego would stand in my way from doing so if I ever would collab with anyone. It's amazing how you guys add to each other the way you guys do! It's pretty hard to explain in words, but your addition is beautiful! I was in awe (and holding my breath a couple of times) just watching the whole painting proces

[@caroltotterdell6163]

Truely amazing to watch, twice so far . What a magical piece of art this is turning out to be. Can’t wait to follow the story.

[@nicholaschavez1416]

As someone who grew up on west coast graffiti in their teens, I was so hype to see your contribution once you were announced as the next artist. And my god you did not disappoint. I cannot wait to see what James does next. Such a great artist to ask on this collab. It’s gonna be wild to see it all come together

[@TheBlackJewelz]

I’m super late with this whole challenge but holy bananas what an unbelievable piece this is becoming. Especially with the GOAT up next?! I can’t wait to watch what he did to it

[@carinaadams0072]

I love the story coming together with this painting!

[@rachealgetscreative]

Your white rabbit is amazing! I love the hearts on his tunic, and I think my mouth fell open when you added the gold to the pocket watch. So glad you are part of this collaboration. And KUDOS to you for that big ask. Wow.

[@Jen_Anderson_ripz]

Greg you have stayed so humble all these years. What a joy to watch your process.

[@VelvetWool]

You have no idea how much I've been waiting for this, so excited!!

[@chelseascreatures]

Art is taking over KZbin and I am HERE for it. You knocked this out of the park!

[@Fas_PR]

Sick Craola! You def added the touch to this colab, amazing work!

[@stormnasca6497]

You are easily the BEST artist in this collab. I'd actually venture to say you're the best artist across all the youtube collabs so far.

[@thechosen2033]

Oh my god. I'm speechless. Thank you for sharing your work with us. I loved the detail you put into this. I devoured Gurneys books as a child and was close to tears when I saw that he's also going to contribute to this piece.

[@nisar6339]

Omg! It looks so amazing! Your art is so above par! And that you actually got James to be next is beyond fantastic!

[@emilyolsen3916]

I love how Jess’s figure became Alice to your white rabbit! And the use of the bottle… perfect! What a blast watching this unfold!

[@liosis3280]

Phenomenal work! Each artist has upped the talent level time after time on this collaboration. The completed canvas is going to be priceless being filled with the modern day masters work. I am truly excited to see the completed piece....I mean, MASTER PIECE!

[@Elmerphant]

Ah. It looks so amazing (love the octopus 🐙) My only issue is, the inner part of the clock would have looked dope transparent where you see the dragon 🐉 I think that looked so amazing at that part of the process. Would have kept it interesting. Either way love the painting!

[@mehakmahajan6158]

I so agree when he covered the clock i was kinda disappointed..still love the end result though very dopee

[@paulaj7682]

I had the same thoughts. The clock starting to fade out would have been cool as an homage to the Cheshire Cat. But I absolutely cannot bring myself to critique his artistic ability or integrity. Might as well ask a poet to change a line. I am so enjoying the glimpses we are being given into the creative process.

[@picklesdill9138]

absolutely one of my favorite artists! im so happy to see you being apart of such a creative moment on youtube!!! you did such an amazing job with this painting... cant wait to see what else you create... you just inspire me so much. thank you for being you!! lol

[@xXnoremacXx]

You are so very talented and your addition to this painting is my favourite so far. I love how you asked James Gurney!

[@jfc_whyte2944]

THE SELECTION FOR ARTISTS ON THIS IS TOP TEIR GOOD LORDDDDD You smashed this like expected. Sadly took me forever to watch it...but loved it none the less!

[@luponero4945]

It’s a freaking masterpiece….god I admire your art immensely, it reminds me of my grandfather’s attention to details. Can’t wait to own a copy of this artwork. Just thrilled about this.

[@markuswithak5084]

okay WOW,this is probably my favorite addition to this piece. The pocket watch especially was such a joy to watch. That was simply magic to see it come to life

[@goongju]

... the amount of detail? Ungodly 😵🤯 so unique and beautiful.

[@sassysaguaro4906]

Holy cow! Such a cool addition! I thought for sure the clock face would be clear, but I love it anyway.

[@hawnick7234]

Beautiful work, I love your addition to this every growing masterpiece!

[@SandraArdent]

It's so touched me, that you drew your father's watches I was nearly crying :( EPIC addition for collab! And your choice for the next artist! I HAVE HIS BOOK "Color and light" on my shelf! Never knew he has an youtube channel!

[@peachesyuson8989]

The magic is endless! It's as if I'm being taken into another universe everytime I watch this huge collab. Thank you guys so much 💕

[@picklesdill9138]

JAMES GURNEY?!?! YES YES YES ALL THE YES!!!! THIS PIECE IS JUST BLOWING MY ART BRAIN RIGHT NOW

[@steves4731]

Great addition! The pocket watch was touching for me, my grandfather also passed down a very similar Elgin pocket watch to me. When I saw yours I teared up a bit !

[@713gizmo]

So incredible!!🥰 Truly awesome! I love it!

[@SMUGOE]

Wow! Another magical piece well added to this collaboration! 👏 Amazing skills 👌❤️

[@adisatrio3871]

OMFG THE NEXT ARTIST IS JAMES GURNEY?!!! I'M HYPED! THIS IS SUPER COOL! I ALREADY HYPED AFTER KIPTOE, JESS AND ESPECIALLY YOU WERE ANNOUNCED, AND NOW JAMES GURNEY?!! THIS ART COLLAB SEASON 2 IS JUST CRAZY!!! I FEEL LIKE A KID WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS EVE TO COME IN THE NEXT MORNING! BLESS YOU GUYS!

[@AMPhotoArt]

Awesome! I wrap my paintings in wax paper for shipping. It helps protect the painting from anything sticking to the surface. Especially in humid hot weather.

[@DwayneHamiltonArtist]

That was epic. your work is on a next level

[@saylork8547]

Very much enjoyed this addition to the art piece! What a collab this is becoming!! 👏👏

[@ishmom1]

Wow... So excited to see how this painting will turn out. This is my first year following it. Was so excited when I saw you in my feed today. LOVE the White Rabbit!!!

[@WillinrowArts]

I absolutely love your addition! Amazing!

[@calnative4904]

You are by far my favorite artist, glad to see you are part of the collaboration and taking it to the next level.

[@mariellealma]

It’s crazy seeing all my favorite artists on one piece. My mind is blown. It’s like each of you are passing it onto every artist on my favorites list. I keep replaying the end of the video just to look at the Collab so far. Now off to James Gurney?? I can’t even begin to say how excited I am. And those hands from Jess really anchored this majestic ass piece. You are all so incredibly talented!

[@justinabean94]

Ugh! I’ve been Alice obsessed since I was a child. What an insanely beautiful addition to this piece. The perfect pairing to Jess’s portion and I really loved how you tied it back to tens piece with the bottle. You’re nuts. so wildly talented!!! You’re all doing such an incredible job . ALSO WTF JAMESSSSSS LETS GO 🤯💖

[@craftycrandall]

Wow. That detail is STUNNING! So glad this collab has brought me to your channel--I don't think I would have found it otherwise, but your art is incredible! Love the story behind how you got the idea, and the amazing results.

[@Jilly_Beans]

Just wow. Discovering so many absolutely phenomenal artists. Your style just floors me. Have one of your Newton's Law prints saved in a cart for when I move in 3 weeks. This painting is just so breath takingly incredible!

[@MonkeyNinja99]

Wow, that was just incredible! I can't wait to see what happens next with this awesome collaboration.

[@truevidencelife]

Wow! This thing is just getting better and better. Wow!

[@amberdreams_0]

Catching up with the project - so fascinating to see how each artist is approaching this. I loved watching you create the scratches and textures on the watch!

[@bearlaw6807]

The entire first collab I was screaming at the screen to send the painting to you next! It finally happened in the sec go around! Love what you and all the artists have done. And I cannot wait to see what the James Gurney does next!

[@MisKandi]

I...can't. Wow. This was incredible to watch. How you told the story as the piece evolved took me on a journey. This collab is taking me on a journey. I'm also an artist and connect so deeply with a piece that speaks to me. And this one shouts! I need to draw again. I need to pick up the brush and untap the fountain of expression that's been trapped these last few years. Thank you all for being so motivational.

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

James Gurney 🙌🙌 Pretty friggin dope. Your piece is sick too watching your process was a treat. These collaborations are AMAZING 😱!!!!! I am mind blown 🤯

[@bright-eyed5830]

I’m so excited for this!! You’re the first artist I thought of when it started and hoped it would be sent to you. I can’t wait to see what you did 💜

[@jacotromp59581]

You turned an already great piece of art into a magnificent masterpiece!!!

[@ColorwaveCraftsCo]

All of the detail in your painting is mind blowing… love how you made the rabbit look like a genie coming out of the bottle… super nice touch!

[@SigneofHorses]

Blowing my mind with both your part in this painting and introducing the next collaborator..

[@kellywilson2147]

Stakes just keep getting raised! Beautiful white rabbit rendition, Greg! I can hardly wait to see where the fabulous James Gurney takes this piece!

[@bleuvertetforetdepin7308]

that's crazy work , thanks for sharing .and thanks for untroducing James Gurney the way you did , i've been subscribed to his channel for years without knowing anything of his work .

[@missmishpot]

There is so much to love about this whole collab. You can tell so much thought and great detail was put into each part. Kudos!

[@AnchoredArtDesigns]

This is so cool and such a fun idea! I hope I can keep growing and be a part of something like this one day! So cool and inspiring! Love this collab!!

[@bernadettbotha4425]

I am so glad you participated on this collab. You are by faaaar one of my favorite artists to date. You did a fantastic job!

[@liliawebb9377]

Great addition! I look forward to watching the next artist add his work. I have his book too. This is delightful and tell your little guy I loved his "addition" Giggling here.

[@sophiagreen3016]

James Gurney?!?! There’s literally no one better you could have chosen! Wow, I’ve never been so excited for a KZbin video in my LIFE!!

[@rachelrettig]

Oh my god!! I love your contribution and can’t wait to see freaking James Gurney’s addition!

[@leenorthcutt8421]

Watching you create art is always so mesmerizing and relaxing!

[@BunNessa_Art]

When I saw the boots, I somehow knew it was James gurney and that didn't stop me from squealing with excitement and joy!!! Love how this piece is coming along, so beautiful!
