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.

It does look like it could fit into a nightmare scene!
Jim, I'm wondering if you've ever seen an old cartoon called Flip the Frog. Some of your drawings remind me of the style in which it was drawn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip_the_Frog
Are you influenced particularly by the styles of any given period or artist?
I really enjoy your work very much!
Reminds me of the "Old Curiosity Shop" in Seattle. Boy, did that place give me nightmares as a kid! Esp. the mummies and shrunken heads.
AAAAAAAAAHHH! DRIED FLATTENED TURTLE!
We call it "terrapin jerky."
