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.

Hello, I'm new to the blog, and this was a nice welcome sign for my first visit. While I was in prison jockeying a desk for Macy's I was given a zip file full of Frank drawings, and they were probably the only thing that saved my sanity. Months later and free, I'm digging back into Hyena and Tantalizing Stories... glad to finally catch on.
Hey Jim, we met when you were here in Montreal for the Fantasia festival. I have a gallery and have been tring to email with no luck. Could you please email me at yesmonastiraki@gmail.com? Thanks!
