About Me
- Name: Jim Woodring
- Location: Seattle, Washington, United States
I was born in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California and enjoyed an exciting childhood full of poetry and paroniria among the snakes, rats and tarantulas of that enchanted realm. I eventually grew into an inquisitive bearlike man who has had three exciting careers; garbage collector, merry-go-round-operator and cartoonist. Some of my work is collected in THE BOOK OF JIM, THE FRANK BOOK and SEEING THINGS (all published by Fantagraphics) and in various toys, fabrics, prints and urban legends. Thank you for your interest.

That looks a lot like a stick insect (Heteropteryx dilatata) I have mounted and framed in my living room. Awful thing, really.
Delicious Majestic & Transcendental.

Another watercolor? I only have my bedroom for a studio, so my beloved oils are out of the question. The results you get with water are inspiring, though.
It's an oil painting... and it is indeed based on one of those stick insects, but with explosives built in.

Please stop scaring me.
Reminds me of an Ernst Haeckel lithograph. Awesome! Pow!
Yeeahgggh!!!!
I'm a little insectophobic so this thing could definitely work itself into a horror movie scenario where I'm concerned! Very realistic.
Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very unique.
