From THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND EXCUSES, in preparation.
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.

Must have been a rough night of cycloptic tentacled beasts and floating tripod monsters. Jim, I'm guessing you're already aware of Ernst Haeckel, but if for some reason you're not, I'm sure you'll dig these links.

amazing, as usual!
thrilled you started a blog, will be waiting eagerly for each new post!
oh, this is a question i've had for years: what tools do you use for your comics?
p.s: i'd be honored if you visited my blog
Love your work. I am long time fan of "Frank" and your book of the same. You wouldn't be able to sell me any discount copies of your hardbound book would you? Apologies.
I'm impressed with your site, very nice graphics!
