700 Hoboes

John Martz | November 6th, 2005

Another Flickr project… When I first listened to the 700 Hobo Names recording, I immediately loved it because it was just so darn odd. But now it’s better because Mark from BoingBoing has suggested that each hobo in the list be illustrated and brought to life. Check Flickr for images tagged with 700hoboes to see which ones are finished already. A massive chunk are done by Ape Lad, aka the previously-blogged Adam Koford, who has a lot of nice new work on his site since we last linked to him.

  • Wow, thanks for another link on your blog. I am constantly discouraged and baffled by the amazingness of the illustrators out there and am humbled to be featured among their ranks. Twice even.
    As for the hoboes, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that all due credit goes to the honorable John Hodgman, in whose book The Areas of My Expertise the list first appeared and who performs the track found here. with Jonathan Coulton.
