A GoFundMe has been launched to help graphic designer Yames Radek Andersven aka GRIMGRIMGRIM with medical bills after a life-threatening brain injury. Andersven suffered a severe head injury during War Hungry’s set on December 15 at Preserving Underground in Philadelphia, requiring brain surgery and 50 stitches. The fundraiser has raised more than $18,000 in the 24 hours it’s been live. Andersven shared that he nearly died from the brain bleed after hitting the floor.
From the gofundme:
My name is Colleen Crank and I’m a friend of Jim’s (aka GRIMGRIMGRIM). On 12/15/24 Jim suffered a head injury at a show and ended up needing emergency brain surgery at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, PA and now has 50 staples in his head. Jim is resting at the hospital now, and has been alert and FaceTiming with his friends, even giving a “GO BIRDS!” to end the call. Jim will need our help, now, however as he will be out of work both from his 9 – 5 and from vending.
If you’ve been around the Philly art/metal/hardcore/wrestling scene over the last 10+ years you’ve probably seen Jim around, if not you’ve definitely have seen his art on show fliers or at Philly sporting events on shirts. Jim has done a lot for a lot of people, and I hope we can do something big for him.
I’m starting the goal at 10k and will take it from there. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
