NIGHTMARISH SKETCH
Bad as things can get, there is solace to be found in the fact that we do not live in the cold-blooded realm of the swiftly mutating amphibian.

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.

That IS nightmarish -- reminds me a bit of Goya.
This "Metal Hurlant" Jim is more chilling than classic "Jim" Jim. No relation to Slim Jim.
That's really gorgeous, Jim. In a mutanty sort of froggish way, granted. Love it! Very impressive indeed!
horrifying.. beautiful.
Obviously a scene of the Western Unifactor, somewhere between Vinegaroon and Death Valley. Unless they find water soon, the horsegator will be snacking on crunchy dried frog bits. And is the rider transfixed by the fierce glare of the intense desert sun, or is it something stranger just above his head?
