In the ongoing spirit of my Hobo-Eaters collection I’ve gone back to the brush and ink for a spell. Merging the variable line work that typically occurs in my micron pieces with more fills and strokes makes this latest hobo character even more thick with puzzling elements. Indicative of most of the hobo’s there is the integration of words spelled by hands and multiple arms. As an ode to my West Coast clothing line DEFIANT it was necessary to meld the iconic affects with tentacles, skulls, booze, and sound effect tattoos. With most of these works I’ve gone back to the wood panels which allow a variable surface for me to mix up the media from graphite, inks, stains, paints, and wood burning. More insano hobo’s will be busting out of the woodwork in 2011!
