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.

head back to the daily regime!
For as much as I "oooh!" and "ahhh!" over your amazing work in black and white, when you hit us with your mastery of colour, I get a little weak in the knees.
I love this!
WOW.I am so glad I didnt get the tattoo work done yet.This is very clearly the image I want on my upper arm.Is it a piece of a larger painting?The lighting is very striking,and seems to be a departure from your "usual" work.Is a print available?I will direct the tattoo artist to this at once!
the sky blue is messing with my head. I keep wanting to see that as a background space. I don't know if it was intentional but it comes off as an interesting optical illusion.
By far, my favorite piece of your work yet Jim.

Mantra is as Mantra does....of course!

Bright, terrible hardcandy dream creature looming in oily black smokeclouds. Look up! Towering over you, an immense gleaming sky toy of god, somehow lit from below, from the fires of your burning tinkertoy town.
Beautiful work.
its a head munching sizzler....its a groping little pouch...
It would make a great poster or print methinks. Mantra is like a superhero of Jimworld. Go mantra go!
Bilious amusements bucket lightly. "Effendi!" I said.
