Jim Woodring pays homage to the classic Big Little Book format to put his silent signature character through his most transformative adventure ever.
Great gift idea: Both nostalgic and contemporary. Jim Woodring is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning multimedia artist whose work spans comics, animation, and much more. Publishers are innovating in print to offer readers experiences they can't duplicate digitally. Woodring's book is both fun and formally exquisite. Woodring is one of the pioneers of the alternative/literary comics movement, along with Daniel Clowes and Chris Ware. He is a great believer in transcendental meditation and his imagery is infused with hallucinatory power. Jim Woodring lives on Vashon Island in Washington State's Puget Sound with his wife, Mary. The recipient of numerous award - including The Stranger's Genius Award for Literature - he is an animator and a fine artist as well as a cartoonist.
