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.

Have you ever considered having Fantagraphics or some other company publish a collection of pages from your sketchbooks? As much as I enjoy the finished work, it's even more interesting to me to see the sort of things that bubble up when you're just "stream of consciousness-ing" it (that was expressed pretty badly, but, oh well..). As prolific as you are, this could be a series of many volumes, maybe grouped by subject or time period. Or random, unrelated pages...just like a real sketchbook, I guess.
Just a thought...love your work!
I agree with Mr. Mummery. A sketchbook collection is a necessity!
