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.

another Quiet saturday morning at the Woodring residence.
This looks great so far!
Thanks for this, Jim! I'd love to see more works in progress. I recall seeing what looked like gesture sketches in pencil behind the finished ink drawings in your moleskine sketchbook posts. It would be of great interest to struggling artists like myself to see a step-by-step set of images showing how one of your amazing drawings evolves from the planning stage to the finished product. Better yet, perhaps you could post a video of you drawing. Purty please?
I must say, that your artwork is fantastic, the lines are so clean, yet thereĀ“s som much going on.
I just found your blog, and I will keep popping by to see more!
Best regards
Linda
It makes me wonder what is going on in that fine seemingly benign residence nextdoor!
