My Bio

Larime Taylor is a disabled mouth artist born with Arthrogryposis and lives in Las Vegas. They are a professional comic book artist, having been published by Image/Top Cow with 2013's A VOICE IN THE DARK, and in the Las Vegas 10/1 Shooting anthology WHERE WE LIVE, which was nominated for an Eisner and won a Ringo.


A VOICE told the tale of college freshman and budding serial killer Zoey Aarons, and Larime did the entire book solo by mouth. Covers from #3 on where colored by their partner Sylv.


They are returning to comics in 2020 as the co-writer of KEEP STARING along with their partner, Sylv. Art for the book is being handled by Jenny Odio. KEEP STARING is a YA story in the vein of STRANGER THINGS and IT, but all of the main teen characters are disabled.


Larime has just begun developing their first comic on which they handle all duties since A VOICE, called SEX ON WHEELS. It's the story of disabled pinup-girl artist Morning Glory "Mo" Schoener, who draws with her mouth like Larime and shares the same birth defect. It's a slice-of-life comic about disability, sexuality, comic and SF convention life, and more. Unlike KEEP STARING, it is decidedly adult.


Larime's day job is as a caricaturist in Las Vegas, which has largely shifted online now due to COVID. You can fing them on Twitter doing caricatures as @xlarimex.

For those of you asking how you can help, since the Kickstarter's over, my wife could really use some help. My wife, Sylv Taylor, is bed-bound with Lupus and her laptop is the only link she has to the outside world. That laptop is also what she uses to create art, including coloring comics. It's dying - it shut off 10 times in 3 hours today - and when it's dead she'll be utterly isolated and unable to create. PLEASE consider helping in getting her a new laptop. If you can't pledge, PLEASE share this on your journals and tell your friends. If her laptop dies and I can't replace it, she's going to have nothing to do and no one but me to talk

Fantastic work !! you are amazing!!
Hi, I read about your story on a journal and I have to say that I am absolutely touched. I will be buying your comics.
Hi, I've been brought here by :iconnebezial: 's journal and I've to say that I'm quite impressed by what you do. You give a new meaning to "the sky is the limit" and I'll promote your work among the ones I know not only for what others can do for you (buy your art) but, mostly , for the inspiration you can give others with the strength of your communication inside and outside the comic page.

Best,

Antonio.  
you are an inspiration to all artists. Keep you the good work and don't give up your dream. 

I own a Wacom Cintiq too! It costed us over 2000 dollars though. And I'm wanting to start a comic. Got any advice?
