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.

I was upset about my job and my life, then i found out this blog existed, and suddenly nothing else did.
I'm very glad to see you posting, Jim! You are doing some of the most interesting work in comics and in art these days. I'm going to really enjoy checking out what you post from day to day.
Your strange imaginary world is one of the funnest and most interesting places to be.
Dear Jim,
Your artwork is glorious! I first came upon it a couple of years ago as I was just starting to get into comics. I bought the Frank book on a very daring whim, and was in awe. Since then I've been in a hypnotic trance for all things "Jim"...Your appreciation for the beauty and the strangeness of life really comes through in all of your work. Its really great to see, because that kind of appreciation is really important to me... and sort of hard to express...Its what makes life worth living for me...thankyou

Hey Jim,
Greg over at Cookie Jar told me about this site. Always great to see any of your work anywhere, and I bet this "Information Superhighway" thing (I think the kids call it the "mesh" or the "netting" or something) is really gonna take off. I wonder if they sell stock?
You gonna come down to San Diego?
I like the weird factor in your works, leave some room to personal interpretation!! great!!
What strange properties has saliva tinged with telescopic awe? I imagine it set in little ice cube trays with toothpicks in the center, retrieved on humid days for a cool psychedelic treat.
how delightful and curious.

I can't tell you how happy I am that you now have a blog. I look at your book "Seeing Things" constantly. I'm especially haunted by the very last picture of the decaying ice cream (I assume?) cup. Thanks for sharing this great art.
Hello One and All-
I am beyond gratified by this outpouring of friendliness. You can have no idea how much all this wild hyperbole means to me. God love ye!
Sincerely,
JW
Hiya Ken- San Diego... no, are you?

Your work is so amazing!!! It has a quality that reminds me of childhood, the colours are incredible and it makes me feel happy!
I really appreciate your work and, the frank book is my favorite comic! please go on!
Hi Jim! I hate to poop in your hat, but when I try to zoom in on the celestial object, it takes me to a page asking for my Photobucket log-in. Am I the only one who tried to zoom in or am I the only one getting a mistake?
great great title. i'm going to say it to myself in my head in third person whenever i find myself in a situation where i am not performing at my best.
Hello Everyone
