A stunning commission and published page by Jim Woodring 0

[Michaeld]

Jim Woodring is a brilliant artist. His no dialog no narration stories are so unworldly there just isn't much to compare it to. His vision and talent put him in a class by himself. The published page is from a TPB called Fran and the other piece is a commission he did for me recently. Have a look.

I never heard of this artist or his work but I like what I see.  Looked him up on amazon and see a dozen trades by him.  What do you recommend I start with?

His main character is Frank. You will find him in most of Woodrings books but the books are stories within themselves. They don't seem to follow a time line. I started with "Weathercraft" which was mostly about a character named Manhog. It's as good a starting point as any.

This is my first post in the forum, just joined the forum and was drawn to this topic right away, I started my collection of original comic art almost 14 years ago and started my collection with a commission of Jim Woodring that is framed on the wall since then

Welcome mate.  I'm fairly new here as well. 

As I have heard others here say before - picture or it doesn't exist.
