News and views from the Dutch Uncle of dreamland.
You... throw your center of gravity upwards... you'll hover just long enough to... get your... feet up and over your head. Then throw... your feet... into the hole. Follow with your... body, ducking down. Watch your head, watch your brow. Twist inside. Try to land on your... feet. That's all. You were.

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 like the new photo on your profile, by the way, "The Shroud of Woodring".
I like this style a lot. Spacious. Coolio.
Heh! Shroud of Woodring! That's immediately what I thought. Hence, www.wordlings.com/pics/jim_shroud.jpg
I also really like the new "click to super-size" option. Jim's work should really be seen as big as possible.
This scene would be a great subject for a life-size walk-around Unifactor exhibit.
I agree, I'd love to visit there, it has an eerie feel to it.
Really nice!
