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.

How much does it weigh? I would guess 15-20 lbs.
About that... I haven't weighed it yet.
ROCKS!
Great! I didn't know there would be nudity on this blog!
Hail the Proto-Nib!
When will these be available for purchase? I have an empty corner in my living room that could use a giant pen.
Bob Kane called, he wants his giant prop back into the Museum of Giant Art Supplies.
aha! do you do wallpaper?
now that would be something!
Carve a fig leaf on that thing.
i think this work of T Ott would fit in your home ("Lebensgrosser Mensch"):

Thanks for letting me see that image. Yes, it would find a lot of friends in my house.What is the story, do you know? It almost looks like student work. The guts are rather fanciful.
Wow! I makes me feel tiny. Cute, almost.
Hi Jim,
I don't know the story behind tott's series of organs and bodies. It somehow's fits in the "body" of his other work (eg la grande famiglia - http://www.trinity.ch/tott/index2.php). I "love" his technique -scratchboard - too.
