Jim Woodring's charcoal drawings take the otherworldly qualities of his comics to a higher level of clarity and nuance. These painstakingly rendered images reflect his life-long obsession with hidden worlds and the inexplicable resonance of lucid art. They are drawings of mysteries glimpsed at the dim periphery of rational thought and translated into symbolic picture-puzzles that fluoresce with the unseen energy of invisible realms and events. SEEING THINGS collects the most toothsome of these drawings and arranges in four sections:
THE VISIBLE WORLD is a roundup of appalling scenes of sub-rational political activity involving catalytic entities with a high ratio of ambition to altruism.
LAZY ROBINSON is a series of portraits of forms taken by a cognizant object during the course of a specific and identifiable stream of thought.
FROGS celebrates the tender proclivities of the most noble of all animals, by placing them in situations that would demoralize a pondful of saints.
COLOR appears like a rainbow at the end of all this exalted storminess to send readers out into the world whistling with delight.
