It's the final day to fund my new comic MIRENDA AND THE GOLDEN HORNS on Kickstarter, and I just wanted to mention that the original MIRENDA graphic novel is available too!

Grim does comics like no one else. Not only are these worlds and characters fantastical, the way this dude plays with word balloons is WILD

Go check out his new kickstarter project for book 2 and help make it happen!!!

Sketch to final from the last chapter of ‘The Man Who Lives Inside His Head’

[Dean Stuart @deandraws]

94% of the pages of ‘The Man Who Lives Inside His Head’ are done digitally so I had a blast painting the last 16 for a change of pace

Some pages from ‘Makeda’ written by Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance that we are now pitching to publishers.

The recently dethroned queen and new mother, Makeda must learn to find a balance between reclaiming her power and finding trust in those around her again.

@grimwilkins Is that The infamous Dante’s?
