Via the SPX tumblr, a reminder that once San Diego Comic-COn is over it’ll be straight to the fall show line-up including the annual Small Ppess Expo in Bethesda, the annual Camp Comics for the indie inclined. Visionary master Jim Woodring created this animated poster, and a 3D version will be available at the show. […]

Well, my day is made. I could watch Jim Woodring draw and listen to him talk all day long.

If you have a soul, you are, like us, thrilled, awed and maybe just a little creeped out by the imminent manifestation of Jim Woodring and his giant, steel-nib pen.
After a community effort to raise the necessary funds, the grand unveiling takes place this Sunday:
Skinner Auditorium, Gage Academy of Art
1501 10th Avenue East
Seattle, WACreated By
United States ArtistsMore InfoSeattle cartoonist Jim Woodring has built a seven-foot long pen-and-penholder, a giant version of the steel dip pen nib and wooden handle used by artists and calligraphers. The nib is 16 inches long and made of brass-plated, hand-engraved cold rolled steel; the handle is lathe-turned poplar, painted with black lacquer. This will be the FIRST public demonstration of the finished product.
Woodring will be making large ink drawings on a specifically-built drawing board and conversing with the audience as he works. Regulation pen-and-ink supplies will be on hand for interested audience members to use; instruction for beginners will be provided by members of Seattle’s Friends of the Nib.
The giant pen was with funds raised through United States Artists Projects, 2010. Pen, paper and ink supplies provided by Dick Blick on Capital Hill. Special thanks to St. Mark’s Cathedral.
Here’s a video of the finished project:
Is this indeed a religious experience for our times? Perhaps. Mighty is the nib!

Trippy indeed! Once you’ve seen it, it’s hard to look away!
That thing is actually not great for people with photosensitive epilepsy. For me, it’s painful on the hopefully-not-getting-a-migraine eyes. For other people, it might just be bloody annoying!
