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.

My favourite part of the interview was where the interviewer dodged the whole issue of whether or not to split an infinitive when he wrote "Is it important to you that a reader be able eventually discern those specific meanings?"
all those years playing dodgeball in english class really paid off.
I love your haiku.
I so want to marry it.
Love,
your fan,
Kerry
Great interview. Jim, have you ever used silver- or copperpoint? Interesting stuff, like etching with a pencil. On the other hand, ever used Photoshop or 3D software like Maya or Bryce?
"If I draw a hill that looks like a woman, it works differently that (sic) if i write “there’s a hill that looks like a woman.”
Precisely the point of my earlier comment, Mr. Woodring, and why I feel an illustrated story should not be compared to a written one. They are two animals, born of the human brain, living exclusive lives.
A wonderful and illuminating interview, by the way, thank you!
Hello again,
Having married your haiku, I introduced it to a friend. This friend has written haiku everyday for the last ninety days. Today's, he says, was inspired by reading your's:
"between two mountains
two rivers two happy days
wherever you are"

What a great interview - thanks! About twenty years ago I got a Jiva portrait drawn by you and now it's hanging above my baby's bed. Are you still making them? Alongside my portrait I'd love to have one of my husband and my baby (who is not here yet - any day now we'll be meeting him).
Great interview. Jim, have you ever used silver- or copperpoint?
Nice post!! it’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to seeing Frank the way others do.
