I see through the eyes of my grandfather the horror of the good life.
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 Jim,
That is a fantastically brilliant piece, as most of your work is. I'm embarrassed to say I've only recently discovered your work, when I bought The Frank Book a month ago. Needless to say it caused my head to spin around and not feel so lonely about my visions after all. I will remain inspired from it for the rest of my life. I don't normally reach out like this but I recently directed an animated video for the band Radiohead which employs a bit of surrealism I'd love for you to see, if only for me to be able to brag to my friends that Jim Woodring watched my movie. You are a true visionary.
Thank you for existing.
