Go, Read: Jim Woodring At AV Club

I know this is going to sound banal, but I just sort of liked this interview with Jim Woodring and I want to recommend it to you. My memory is that Woodring has done a few astonishing interviews, and this isn't one of those, but the piece in AV Club in support of Weathercraft reminded me of what it's like to talk to Jim Woodring, and I can't say every interview I read achieves a similar effect. I greatly enjoyed this snippet about a documentary film about his life and work: "I've heard from people who have seen it that it's a fairly accurate portrait of me. I've also heard it's an unflattering portrait of me, which is probably good. I think you have to be suspicious of anything that makes someone look too good."
