Bunnell Street Arts Center

"I was born in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California and enjoyed an exciting childhood full of poetry and paroniria among the snakes, rats and tarantulas of that enchanted realm. I eventually grew into an inquisitive bearlike man who has had three exciting careers; garbagecollector, merry-go-round-operator and cartoonist." Acclaimed cartoonist and graphic novelist from Seattle, Jim Woodring is Artist in Residence at Bunnell in March. Woodring’s residency is sponsored by United States Artists with support from Rasmuson Foundation. The program provides opportunities for short- and long-term residencies at where visiting artists develop new work, offer public performances and engage with the local community. Woodring transforms the gallery into an exhibition and working studio. Woodring is the author of "Jim," an illustrated “autojournal” and is perhaps best known as the creator of Frank, a wordless cartoon series.
