About

Noted cartoonist Bill Woodman has had his work featured in The New Yorker, Playboy, The New York Times, Down East Magazine, Barrons, National Lampoon Magazine, Gourmet Magazine, Saturday Review, and Audubon magazine. Dodd Mead published a collection of his work, “Fish and Moose News,” and Bill is also the author/illustrator of a children’s book, “Whose Birthday is it?” In addition, he’s illustrated the work of others, such as Eva LaGallienne’s “The Spider and Other Stories” and “Beverly and Marigold” by Val Coleman, to name just two. Bill is also an accomplished watercolor painter.

A native son of Bangor, Maine, Bill moved to New York early in his career, then the hub of a thriving cartoon industry. He says he didn’t know how bad he was, so began submitting his work. Cartoon editors apparently did not share that opinion and began publishing it. 

In 2000, Bill retired back to the Maine coast, where he finds plenty of inspiration for his love of plein air painting, 3D found-object creations and, yes, daily cartooning.
