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.

Nice to see it all put together! Your work with charcoal is simply flawless.
All together now, at last, and amazing to see, finally, this weird world of light and darkness, savage teeth and gently curving shapes, shadows lost in velvety folds of the richest black. Don't you weep. Bumper cars of joy collide with trilobites on the backbrain blacktop. And you somehow lived to tell the tale, and carefully place it on the page for all to see.
Effing gorge! But please oh great one - how big is it?
It's 21" x 16", with high-compression squeaks and disant sloughings.

Jim, I enjoy stopping by your blog and thought I'd leave a note this time. Your work consistently impresses me and PARABLES is no exception. Outstanding. I am quite curious about your process, your motivations, inspirations, and so forth.
If you are ever interested in submitting work to Perigee (www.perigee-art.com), we'd love to consider it for a future issue.
Keep up the truly unique work. So much to see here! I love work that asks its audience to think.

Dear Jim, your work just fascinates me no end!
wow... that is awesome work
Your work is so enjoyable. I love that you have a blog to feast from regularly.
Zip-a-loppin' frog-a-hoppin' meeli-toadem semi-spree-loin aspects, indeed! Deliriously Mutating Trila-bites! If there was any question, it's now answered for good.
I can see now the endless details of a man gone madness. The unleashed, unearthed, and unthinkable, thunked, earthed, and leashed for all the whorled 2C. Congrats on this masterpiece of the entheo-zeitgeist revealed! Hurrayyyy!
