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.

I knew there was a reason I've never been to Venezuela! Another fantastic piece, but you can't distract us from the fact that you've been secretly designing robots for the Japanese -
Menagerie a la Woodring

I love this image, it's got a great dynamic and brings to mind Bert Hellinger's 'constellation therapy'. Frank might have placed these elements of his 'family' himself in an effort to gain insight into the complex energies of his relationships....
The OTHER thing it brings to mind is my hope that one day, most of these characters will be 3-dimensional: Jim, I'm sure I don't speak alone when I say we would love to see a capsule toy set or something similar with pretty much the entire ensemble of this image collected!
I love these "busy" images. Reminds me of Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights".
Great work. The shape of that cowled creature reminds me of the Virgin of Guadalupe. I love the crowd! You should illustrate (as if you're not busy! Ha!) the story of Simple Simon who met a Pieman...and really open the floodgates to the glimmering world. Plus pie.
eli curtz, that's a great find! I definitely see the Woodring influence in those creatures/robots in the link you provided. I liked the few English references to "DNA" and a "Saliency Map" especially! Good stuff!
