IS THIS YOU?
Open on the night sky, whirling overhead. Clouds, planets, everything in rapid transition. Birds chirp at normal speed. The sun comes up fast. The day continues in this manner.

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.

"Whatever happened to Jim?" I said. So I asked Google. It led me here. You're still somewhere working the surface, staining your fingers black and for that I'm grateful...
They say that Euripides gave Socrates a copy of Heraclitus' book and asked him what he thought of it. He replied: "What I understand is splendid; and I think what I don't understand is so too - but it would take a Delian diver to get to the bottom of it.
That is how I feel about this page.

look no further for thou art looking where you are supposed to !!!!!!!!
Mr Woodring i think that you have genius. It's empowering for me to think that there are places that some of us have been to, yet you appear to hold a light that makes it possible to record and capture what most of us aren't equipt to recall.
A great admirer of your work,
john
