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.

Someone pushed it in too far.
An iron burst effaced the flower dancers, leaving sad sparks and bitter smoke.
The friendly touch? This alone was saved.
You tell 'em, champ!
Mr Woodring, it was wonderful meeting you last night. You were very gracious with this inarticulate fan.
poor jerry :(
Yeesh! Testicular chin-hangings and sperm stains on rock formations take me right back to a Grade Seven Field Trip.
Beautiful and unsettling. Wish I had a vinyl toy of it to snuggle up to.

jim, super long time fan, but drunk and enbittered tonight for no good reasons. please stop usuing that technique where you shade in thick lines that texture everythign and do some more of those rounded things with sahadows. plese. also ou are saweom
Mmmm, Jerked Jerry Chicken!
That is one startled bird
It is all too close to the bone, my dear inconsolable one.
jim,
im a really addicted fan and i really like the line that you get and i was wondering if you could post on thsi blog the materials u use ie paper pens inks...
thanx and keep up ther great work
Well, anonymous, I can easily tell you exactly what materials I use: HB graphite pencil, Strathmore Series 500 plate finish 2-ply Bristol in pads; acrylic ink (Winsor Newton or FW)and dip pens.
My favorite pen now is a Braus that is shaped like a pointing hand.They are hard to find, unfortunately.
It's stiff enough to control but flexible enough for wide line range.Prior to that I used a Hunt Imperial 101, but found it too fine and flexible for this work.
Whatever pen is used I make a reservoir to attach to the underside of the pen to hold more ink without dropping it on the paper. These can be made of wire, aluminum foil or aluminium sheet cut from cans. They make cleaning the pen difficult (and with acrylic ink you have to clean them several times a day; wiping won't do it)but the extended line and fewer trips to the bottle are worth it.
well Jim, n' about to sent ítens for your store to Brazil, its possible?

Hi Jim,
i really like your imaginations, unique and professional style. Your lines, and textures are very precise and fresh. I am glad to find your blog in the web, and i hope i will see more of your works in the future : )
I will check also the pens you talked about : )
(^ lining up for some punch may be more up my ballywhack but then again I dehydrate .
((^ spell checking "ballywhack" =
ballyhoo, bullwhackers. ballcock. ballistics.
(^ I sure do love treading thread reading.
(^ I might be getting Ryan Henry Ward to come over to cafe racer soon.
(^ he's this muralist I'm becoming closer friends with.
(^ it seems he also does watercolors.i'll see if he feels like swinging over from where he's staying in west Seattle.

Puleeze, Mr. Woodring! I beg you! I love your work but it's time to replace the chicken monster. It's been there forever.
Thanking you in advance.
