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.

Definitely food for thought, Jim. Cake will never be the same after this.
Let them eat cake.
C'mon, you KNEW that was coming! It's all part of moving towards the cake in the true spirit of cleansing self-ego-immolation.
Either that, or simply a philosophical "moth towards the flame" phenomenon.
It sounds like you said, "I vandalized my own life...."
...and I would like to add that I've found that life is no piece of cake, but so far, it's certainly been a slice (forgive me).
Wow, Im very excited that you have a link to your brain with this blog. Thanks for showing us more. A huge fan.
Harmony and understanding,
sympathy and cake abounding.
Have you ever seen Perfect Lives, Jim? It's kind of tangentially related to this posting, although it contains no cake as far as I can see.
It's by Robert Ashley, who you may have heard of. I saw it in the late 80's and now it's on a DVD from a place called lovely music. There's not enough room to describe it here, but if you don't know of it you might be in for a treat. Really really.
But what's after the age of cake?
Damn.
I was over at Youtube, looking at the deepest fractal zoom they've made so far. It made me ... dizzy, for lack of better words. I thought of your work, mr. Woodring, and went over here to give you a link if you'd like to see it.

And yes, I do believe I know what you mean. I was indeed thinking that I thought I knew what you meant when you say, precisely, "if you know what I mean".
So thanks for that.
In icelandic, the word for "coincidence" is "tilviljun". It's a compound word, composed of "til", which means 'to', and "viljun", which means an act of will. Beautiful old language.
