Super person of the week: Jim Woodring


I don't even know where to start on Jim Woodring. His work is one of a kind. Surreal and dreamlike, often wordless and visually astonishing, it portraits weird worlds, anthropomorphic and odd shaped characters in whimsically strange situtations.

With his first publications dating back from the early eighties, there's tons available these days, from the excellent large collection of books on fantagraphics, some japanese publications and limited runs on presspop to prints, original paintings and vinyl toys.
