News and views from the Dutch Uncle of dreamland.
posted by Jim Woodring at 9:17 AM
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 like to draw a line underneath a 9 or a 6, so you can tell which is which.
I agree that Sublime Memory is a great painting, and that his best work came before this. What happened? I wish I knew more about it, but at some point he became something of a parody of himself. He still did some good work that anyone would be happy to paint - ha! I'll take it! -- but nothing as incendescent as the early stuff.
Beautiful!
