News and views from the Dutch Uncle of dreamland.
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'd buy it! Hey, aren't those the same creature that frank took the shapeshifting jar from? BTW, is the next book gonna be about Frank's adventures to space? We can only imagine what aliens in the Frank Universe look like when the terrestrial creatures are already pretty alien.
Woooow !!
The cruel Amazon announces Weathercraft for april 2010... Jim, please tell me we won't spend Christmas without this new Frank story-to-read-next-to-the-fireplace...

Overseas editions of WEATHERCRAFT will be available before the US version. You could probably score one of those. I have some copies of ALKYMISTERNE; if you are interested in procuring one drop me a line (jimwoodring {at}mindspring.com)and we'll see what we can work out.
I say wow.
"it is (of course, one is tempted to say) Monkey Painter behind."
I am very, very tempted to say "Monkey Painter behind"
Haha :)
The publisher is called Aben Maler, which means "The Monkey Paints". But now I'm also tempted to go around saying "monkey painter behind" all day.
Lost in Translation :-)

Thanks for posting that, Michael. I can't tell if they like it or not.
Hmm, is Alkymisterne going to have a US release or be sold from the Woodring store eventually?
Oh wait, I see the missing link here... Alkymisterne IS Weathercraft.
Delete my comments if needed.
That's a fine looking cover.
And the sad thing is, "Værverk" is Danish as much as it is Norwegian ...
