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.

I feel the same angst portrayed in the print ... the triviality of the artist's daily concerns and the enormity of our spiritual quests.
good good
pleura. salut animaliko!
I appreciate that you're willing to share a decent sized example of this work online while selling it as a print. I've seen too many artists that only want insanely small examples of their work to be shown online, fearing that anything more than 500 pixels across will destroy their print sales.
Anyway, you might find this site useful as a point of reference for any future frog related works..

The sheer gray scale intensity in this print would have made Diane Linkletter bounce back IN the window.
