Hi Ape Lad!
Yes, I think it's a great idea for these hoboes to be interpreted by different artists. I'm always fascinated by what goes through an artists mind when drawing a hobo. The backstory that is told is very interesting to me. It really breathes life and character into these names.

Hi Ape Lad! This is a great "project/hobby" when I find free time I find so much fun in finding out what these hoboes look like. I have to get his book when I get a chance.

Ho, 'Bo!
As our hobo minister of culture stated above, this is a public group, welcome to all. So draw a hobo already. It's fuyun.
Getting started: the ultimate list is in the book. You should definitely buy at least two copies. However, if circumstance conspires against the buying, you are welcome to select a hobo from the master list:
www.e-hobo.com/hoboes/list/
This also shows which of the 'bos have and have not been drawn, and is updated in something close to real time.
The site itself is pretty cool as well, though I hasten to add: still under development. It is our humble attempt to spread the hobo love beyond the boundaries of flickr.
So get goin'. Spread your hobo love today.

I'm so glad this group exists. I'm glad to see the range of artistic ability of drawing the hoboes. I also enjoy seeing the different interpretations of the different names. How one person envisions how they should look isn't necessarily how someone else might envision the same hobo.

Thank you. The audio form is even better, because it will put me to sleep.
I use Paint (the really basic one that comes with the operating system), so have fun with my bad drawings.

Hello all new people. In some way, we are all hoboes. And consider this your virtual train car.
