News and views from the Dutch Uncle of dreamland.
posted by Jim Woodring at 2:59 PM
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.

With the text, it makes even more sense! Lovely sentiment. It's rare to have text clarify an artwork (for me, anyway.) i would write more, but feel inspired to just say no and go get myself a glass of smooth red wine.
Bravissimo!
Has Manhog been working out? His arms and calves look nicely toned.
Beautiful!
MUY BUENO,,... PLEURASICO""!!!!!!
The most disturbing thing about this photo is the shiny smooth cleanliness of Manhog. Is he running for office?
Manhog takes a bath every once in a while, especially when he thinks he's going to get lucky.
Hey Jim
I read somewhere once that you can judge the talent of an artist on how well he or she rises to the challenge of painting skies.
Your skies are magnificent!
Yes! very nice! a clean hog is a happy hog.. I think.
I too experience episodes of questionable ecstasy, as does Manhog! We both deserve it. Ain't it swell Jay Dubb?
Love, Jay Tee
sir, you're amazing. thank you for continuing to track these beasts down.
I'm really enjoying these paintings you've been posting lately. I'd love to see your process in doing one of these.
Also, I saw this video of a very unusual frog defending itself from a human and thought of you. Check this out - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a89_1193688777

Drink! Glorious Drink!
You have beautiful work!!!!!
It is my sincere belief that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is Manhog in real life. Go on, tell me I'm wrong!
I forgot to say... Congrats on the Stranger Cover.. This image looked great all over seattle for a week.
