Upper Playground Walrus by CRAOLA

Urban Vinyl is an art form that is truly coming into it’s own. The level of detail and inspiration put into each figure rivals that of classic sculptures from more traditional artists. The fervor surrounding some “Vinyl” launches around the globe has been compared to some Apple product launches. With lines wrapping city blocks, dedicated collectors camping out overnight, celebrity sightings and the occasional scuffle or two in line, the amount of collectors is exponentially growing each year. A GearCrave source was nearly attacked when attempting to purchase a copy of Luke Chueh’s instant sell-out “Possessed.” Greg “Craola” Simkins’ “Upper Playground Walrus”, featured above, is a perfect example of this relatively new art form. With superbly painted details and subtle yet thoughtfully worked over surfaces, this piece is already an instant classic. As always, each Vinyl is limited in run and at $68 and only 500 created, this one will sell out fast.
