Jim Woodring

Jim Woodring (born October 11, 1952) is a comic book author and artist. He was born in Los Angeles and lives in Seattle. A self-taught artist, Woodring worked as a garbageman before landing an illustration job with the animation studio Ruby-Spears in the 1970s. In 1980, he began self-publishing Jim, an anthology of comics, dream art, and free-form writing which he described as an "autojournal". Jim was published as a regular series by Fantagraphics Books starting in 1986, to critical acclaim, and Woodring became a full-time cartoonist. Frank, a wordless surrealist series which began as an occasional feature within Jim, became his best-known work. Woodring created a short-lived comics series for children, Tantalizing Stories, with Mark Martin. He has also worked as a freelance illustrator and comics writer, creating stories based on Aliens for Dark Horse Comics and adapting the film Freaks with F. Solano Lopez.
