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. I found about you in youtube, in one of those Japanese "Frank" animations.
Unluckily, there is not a single Woodring book here in Spain, so all I got is this awesome blog. Thanks for the beautiful drawings/paintings/etc... and sorry for the horrible english...
There will soon be- perhaps it is there already- a Spanish version of The Frank Book.I haven't seen it myself, but I have every reason to believe it is an imminent reality.
We are all holograms apparently - Cant wait for the new frank book..I got a pocket edition of you works last month . I like the story at the back about how frank was 'born'
oh no! whim involutes itself with science... a terrible and "nouveau" predicament indeed.
Some days I feel like Whim in this picture, but some days it's me in under that glass.
Well, well, well what have we here.
Hey Jim.. doing a painting of frank for my lover, and i think it looks pretty good. i'm just wondering, for curiosity's sake, what color is Whim?
I very much like Whim's hobbies.
