The Lobster and The Liver: The Unique World of Jim Woodring trailer 2

'The Lobster and the Liver' is a documentary about the Seattle cartoonist Jim Woodring. We chart his journey as a child experiencing terrifying hallucinations, through his troubled youth as a prankster and alcoholic, and examine his current status as a master craftsman and seeker of spiritual truth. As well as displaying his incredibly surreal artwork, the documentary features music by jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and includes interviews with such notable cartoonists as Peter Bagge, Ellen Forney, and Jim Blanchard.

Has this already been released? If not, when should we expect to see it? Long live Woodring....his work is singular and mesmerizing.

@poppyallgood It just had its premiere at the Seattle True Independent Film Festival. We're working on trying to get it released (DVD and/or otherwise).
