JIM WOODRING, MIKA BLOG!
The screenshots above are from Jim's website www.jimwoodring.com and are of his character FRANK. Frank is Woodring's most famous character. Its the mix of Frank's naivety and total lack of innocence which really grab's me. If you like the pics, check out the website for more info.

the first one is especially amazing cuz it shows you that the artist puts so much tought into the sceleton and every thing underneath but you only see the skin!
Am in the process of selling many Woodring
original pieces. Leave message if you’re
so inclined.
Hi there!
Just wanted to tell you that you got me hooked on Woodring now. I took some time to look into his stuff (not really having seen much of it before) and I am utterly in love with it.
I especially like Pupshaw and Pushpaw, their little faces are just soooooooo cute!!
To be honest I like them all. Or most 
And in general I like them all, the simplicity and power of the black and white ones, and also the vibrancy of the colourful ones…He’s reallu quite special And I mean that in a good way, LOL!
Anyway I just wanted to mention it,and to say thanks for showing it.
I know that you mentioned him a long time ago, but I never took/had the time to really check him out properly like now.
Take care

P.S.
Btw, did you ever see these?
Worth a look!! We totally Mikafied the place!!!
When the gig was cancelled, we all went to a bar and asked for Mika songs to be played…and the rest is in the videos that I took
I guess that part of what I am trying to say is: Thanks for being the medium through which all these people have met and bonded.
It’s a BIG deal.
Sorry about my stupid laugh, and horrid cough; I was sick :-(

I’m not sure if i like it or i don’t.
Same feelings about the art pieces of an artist/songwriter called Daniel Johnston.

I see why you like him! He has some really neat stuff! I went to the website and was there for a very long while. I especially liked the cartoon archives and the captions beneath the images. Thanks!!
I love “Frank in the pond”!!!!!
Mimi from Barcelona
J’aime bien sa façon de dessiner, ses personnages et ses décors sont parfois troublants… Son histoire est exceptionnelle, quel parcours et quelle force (*** :-x)...
merci de nous l’avoir présenté

Love :-******
It’s great!
It kind of reminds me of an artist I LOVE, Mark Ryden. It’s a little creepy and dark in comparison to Jim Woodring, but anyway, maybe some want to check out his art:

Love!

hi mika…i didn’t know jim woodring…but now YES!eh!eh!thank you! i’m always fascinated to the crazy worlds’ artists…and i’m always curious to see, to learn and “steal” little secrets, to discover new colours…and jim woodring’s colours are amazing and i think his world is suspended between fantasy and a real interior world that everyone know but few people can express…I’m very happy that you love art and all its expressions( also unconventional) ...oh! and it’s clear i love your works too, i think you could be a total work art! bye angela
Thank you for this! Yet another person I’m a huge fan of thanks to you. You really have great tatse in music and art!
That first pic of Frank is now my avi everywhere lol
Those cartoons are so quirky and fun to watch and figure out. thanks for sharing this with us.
xxxx
lol, my art teacher (nearly three years ago) would have slammed this. I, too, love to draw cartoons and animé, but he told me it “wasn’t art”. WTF? How stupid! (seriously, never listen to art teachers, they’re single minded morons!...the ones i know, anyway…)
but i LOVE LOVE this. Especially the third picture. I love the colours in it.
Thanks for sharing his work.

Magnifique !
Oh ! il me rappelle un peu un autre artiste…Kenny Scharf !
Ce n’est pas exactement pareil, mais on peut retrouver des points communs dans le fait de donner des visages à la végatation par exemple, et il utilise un peu le même code de couleur ! Même si c’est un peu moins…“cartoon”
voici son site internet :

Merci de nous faire découvrir tout ces artistes! c’est vraiment interessant !
PS : les commentaires en français conviennent ou nous devons écrire en anglais ?
I ordered the litho of “Frank in the pond” and the Black and White Pupshaw and Pushpaw Toys. Hope they arrive soon! They will look great in my new appartment.
Thnx for sharing!

interesting… especially the 2nd one looks like a cartoon version of salvador dali.
