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.

Im a big fan of your work Jim, and glad to see you have a blog. Too bad I never got to meet you when you used to visit Amaze.

Your walleyed satyr begs a piece of sculpture after it. I'm thinking we should kick up Bernini's bones and put him on the job.

Sweet sweet sweet sweet bulbs grow in m' latest garden
Warm warm warm warm warm sun fingers wave
In m' latest garden
Flowers dance their faces brave
Likewise, I'm a huge fan of your work! My first exposure to you was in junior high when I found a copy of the Happy Mutant Handbook with your feature in it (I'll thank boing boing someday). I'm looking forward to following your blog! Thanks so much!
This is how it should be:art that offends my deepest sensibilities,yet rubs my tummy in sympathy.
how does it feel to have fans that use the word "tummy?"
