The Wreck of the Good Ship Monkeybusiness

My one and done Woodring. A while back, I reached out to Jim and pitched him an idea. I heard that in the past few years, Jim stopped taking on bigger commissions, but I thought I’d give it a try. The Frank books have so many gorgeous landscapes, but few seascapes. I always preferred his seascapes but never had the opportunity for those pages. So I told Jim what I wanted, and he dug it. I added that I want the most intense version he can do and just run with it. The plan was this is my one and done example, and he didn’t disappoint. For what I like, this might be my favorite piece by Jim.

Update: This is now a print. For anyone interested it can be purchased from Jim at
