The work of Greg "Craola" Simkins is extremely imaginative. He often runs themes through each series of work that he produces. As well as using certain animals and creatures as themes he will often use a limited colour palette in each piece. In his latest series of work the theme appears to be birds and sea creatures but also each piece seems to have one hue dominating the whole piece. The piece above has a blue hue. Every other colour that appears in this piece is subtle enough so that it doesn't overpower or break the theme. For example the pinks tints on the tentacles and the yellow on the breast of the birds only hints at other colours so you focus more on the blue areas as they stand out more.
This piece below is different. There are several colours and hues in this piece however the colours are harmonious so the hues blend well and still stand out as the strongest tone in the piece. The less saturated colours become less of a focus because of the brightness in the red, oranges and yellows. Also in both pieces the black background exaggerates the colours more so they really pop out against the background.
