Back to Business: Progress and WHAT NEXT?!

Hello people!!!

If you have been wondering why the project was on hold for a while, there's a simple explanation: I'm an idiot. First of all, I could have coordinated everything better and saved myself some stress. Second, I could have tried to salvage my poor inbox, which will never be the same again. Third, life could have *maybe* made it a little bit easier for me this year...

Between getting sick and the stress of making a major move, I've been scatter-brained!

Apocalypse for Kiddies: Children's Writers AHOY!

Hello Grim5next artists, supporters, & fans!

It's been 10 days since I announced the Apocalypse for Kiddies project and we already have half a dozen writers to work along with our awesome illustrators! Which means we need THREE MORE!!! If I didn't get back to you, it might mean that I have lost your message somewhere so please leave a comment here to be considered. To recap, this project is an early picture book on the topic of HEROES & VILLAINS, who try to save or end the world in funny ways. Here are the guidelines:

Hello Grim5next artists, supporters, & fans!

We still need a few children's writers to work with the amazing illustrators for the Apocalypse for Kiddies project. In the meantime, I wanted to include some features on the site. So far you have met half of the 12 GRIM WRITERS... today you'll meet one of our awesome illustrators for kiddies.

His name is Vian Oelofsen and he'll be illustrating a wacky villain! Here's a little bit about him:

Apocalypse for Kiddies: Children's Writers Wanted!

Hello Grim5next Artists, Supporters, & Fans! Happy Friday 13^th!!!

I’ve SUPER-EXCITING news! I bet some of you have seen my (not-so) subtle hints on Twitter, and now the time has come to reveal the THIRD COMPANION project to the Grim5Next Anthology. As you know, the Anthology has 3 sections: Grim Future, Last 5 Minutes, and What Next. Originally, it was going to be just an Anthology, but then I decided to expand by adding one companion mini-project to go with every section. The more artists the merrier!

Introducing: The GRIM WRITERS, Part 1

Hello Grim5next folk!!! 

(Did that sound like I was addressing mythological creatures?!)

The twelve teams have assembled, writers & illustrators have started brainstorming, and I am itching to make some more introductions, this time more detailed. A name and number (I mean link) doesn't cut it! We need details, passions... the SCOOP!

New to Grim5next: 5-Minute Writers & Grim Illustrators

Hello Grim5next Artists, Supporters, and fans!

I hope you had a great Easter weekend! I still have stomachache from all the chocolate…

So I'm back with an important update. If you recall, last week I called for writers, illustrators, and composers. Writers for Last 5 Minutes (section 2 of our Anthology); illustrators and composers for Grim Future (section 1). I am very happy with the response we got, but there's still a little room left. So I’m updating the list of artists today!
