Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

From the people (including myself) who brought you the 700 Hoboes Project comes the fascinating and wondrous 700 Mole-Men Project.

The instructions, should you choose to play along, are simple:
Obtain (preferably through legal means) a copy of John Hodgman’s new book More Information Than You Require.
Find and consider the list of 700 Mole-Men and their occupations.
Create an image depicting one (or more) of the Mole-Men.
Post it to flickr and add it to this group.
From there it will show up, at random intervals, on 700molemen.com.
Repeat 699 times or less, depending on your temperament.

In this video Adam Koford draws his 600th hobo for the oft-linked e-hobo project that has sprung from John Hodgman’s book The Areas of My Expertise.

I would never have guessed that Adam’s inking was the product of a brush pen (a Faber Castell PITT pen size B, to be precise), or that he was a lefty! Gosh I love the marriage of YouTube and illustrators.
