Despite this book's fairly diminutive dimensions – 5" x 8" – Woodring state in his introduction that the drawings it contains "have been enlarged approximately 140% from the originals." This means two things: 1) JIm Woodring works small; and 2) readers are treated to an up close and personal look at the artist's methods. Pencils are clearly visible under the inks of most drawings, allowing artists curious to learn Woodring's artistic modus operandi plenty of opportunity to do so in this chunky tome's 364 pages of nothing but drawing.
