Grim 15 Dark Art Zine Autumn/Winter 2019
Grim is a not-for-profit (costs only) retro styled, dark art zine and it’s back with edition 15; this time a whopping 52 pages of dark art photography, writing, collage, drawing, painting and illustration. This edition features the the greatest number of contributors since Grim began back in late 2017 with a total of 18 dark artists sending in their work to adorn Grims’ pages. For those of you who like something to read there’s more of that too including work from some of Grims’ regulars, notably, Tracey Katz, The Suicidal Rabbit and Declan Bannon in addition to several pieces from new contributors, and there is an interview with The Suicidal Rabbit, Grims’ go-to writer of dark stuff almost since its inception. The cover features work by fine artist Robert Johnson whose superbly creepy work sets the tone for the inside pages. While the centre pages are given over to talented artist Maria Careto who has illustrated ‘A partial transcript of taped sessions with Annie X’; a very dark story of a psychiatric patient and a dubious doctor, written by Grim regular Tracey Katz. I say this every time but I really think this edition is even better than the last!
I’m very proud of this edition as it feels more ‘considered’ and designed without losing the grunge ethos which is essential for anything I do 🙂

To Grims’ contributors; I can’t thank you enough for sending in your works, without this Grim would be a pale shadow of what it’s become. Thank you 🙂
To Grims’ models; thank you for the levels of endurance and dedication you’ve shown in order to help realise my dark visions and help make Grim what it is today. Thank you so much 🙂
