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.

This is wonderful. I'm a relatively new visitor to your blog, but I have really been enjoying your work!
Hahahaha!Good one!
My brother and some of his friends were driving out in the country somewhere and they ran into a big frog. It was apparently so big that it caused them to stop the car, get out and look at it. My brother described the size of the frog as close in size to a basketball. He said it was mostly dead with its guts hanging out. The image of that frog, even having not seen it first hand, has always stuck out in my mind. The idea of this freakishly large amphibious creature with strange stuff hanging out of its body on a dark road in the middle of nowhere. It'a always haunted me and this drawing reminded me of it.
Also, I was wondering if you use any kind of fixative on your charcoal drawings?
Heya Aeron-
Yes, I use fixative, sparingly, but it doesn't seem to fix anything... the drawings remain dead.

hey Jim,
I am reminded of dissection in Biology class, and, unfortunately, also of open-heart surgery. My son said they tied him down in the "jesus" position on the operating table.
As usual, a masterful image that sticks with you like a warm glass of roofing tar. Beautiful.
"wahtter yer waitin fur...let's eat!!!"
The expressions are unclear, but I believe that the erect frog is on the verge of founding a new amphibian religion.
This must be like that "Body Worlds" museum exhibit for frogs.
