FOSSIL IN TRAINING
It takes a wonderful attitude to supplant a wonderful culture, and nowhere is this more evident than in the disgruntled soul of the failing, uninspired artist.

It takes a wonderful attitude to supplant a wonderful culture, and nowhere is this more evident than in the disgruntled soul of the failing, uninspired artist.
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.

everybody knows an artist is a larval... something
yup! I concure
This wasn't inspired by the recent auction of so-called Hitler art perchance?
Now, why are we going to supplant such a wonderful culture?
Uninspired and failing are the same thing for artists!
I think manhog has done a wonderful job
Just Some Facts About
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, around 11:30 AM LMT, in the city of Ulm in W�rttemberg, Germany, about 100 km east of Stuttgart. His father was Hermann Einstein, a salesman who later ran an electrochemical works, and his mother was Pauline, n�e Koch. They were married in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. Albert's family members were all non-observant Jews and he attended a Catholic elementary school. At the insistence of his mother, he was given violin lessons. Though he initially disliked the lessons, and eventually discontinued them, he would later take great solace in Mozart's violin sonatas.
