Illustration Description
Horus has grown weary of hanging out in ancient Eqyptian tomb paintings, and he's off to go ride the rails. I know the this hobo has been drawn a couple of times already, but being an Art History major, I just couldn't help but draw this interpretation. Although I didn't do it alone - Dan helped a lot with the Photoshop stuff.

Good Evening. This site is inspired by the writings of author John Hodgman and his book Areas of My Expertise. It is meant as an homage to the
wandering men and women who chose to ride the rails during and before The Great Depression, and not the contemporary urban (or rural) poor.
