Books Jim Woodring Shows Off the Mural He Painted in Facebook's Seattle Offices
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, May 11, 2012 at 11:42 AM
Fantagraphics linked to this video: Stranger Genius in literature Jim Woodring made a video unveiling the mural he made at Facebook's newish South Lake Union offices, which Woodring calls "the most nourishing work environment I have ever been in." (He does note that he doesn't get out much, to be fair.)
So jealous of Facebook right now. If The Stranger's office walls weren't already littered with scraps of paper, Republican bumper stickers, and Teen People centerfolds of a youthful Ashton Kutcher, a Woodring mural would be ideal.

Note that Jim invited me to come and check out the mural in person, and Facebook wouldn't allow me to visit.

His style to me seems out of place for a mural, especially a decorative corporate mural—which is one of the reasons I love this so much.

I suppose he didn't get paid in stock like the graffiti artist in 2005 did:
