Greg "Craola" Simkins

Craola is one of my favorite artists in the pop surrealist movement. He walks the like between cute and disturbing using the animals, foods, and pop culture icons that kindle his imagination.

Edgar Mueller

Edgar Mueller









Mueller grew up in the rural city of Straelen on the western edge of Germany. He is a street artist painting huge pieces of work on the street where others can observe the piece and even become part of the piece





I think my favorite part about Mueller is the fact that his pieces are on display for the general public. Instead of having his pieces locked up in a museum where you have to pay to enter, Mueller is fine with just having his work out there for others to see. I also like the fact that you can get "on" the piece making for some interesting pictures.

Art Share: Markus Reugels




 Reugels takes high speed shots of water which he drops from a set up shown at the bottom. Using colored lights as well as ink in some cases, he creates colorful and unique designs.







These are the two set ups which he has designed though he continues to alter them for different shots. He creates the "tools" with which he makes the splashes he then photographs.
