My brother once made a joke that I might by bad luck end up like a hobo. It's not really a funny thing to say, but then again there are lots of people losing their jobs or from broken families and it makes me wonder what it must be like living like that. This picture is inspired by a combination of Scott McCloud's and Odis Halcomb's images.

I was kind of inspired to draw something sad and something to think about too.

*Note: The image was originally done on pencils and prismamarkers. Then shot the image through a watercolor filter.

This is a very fine piece of work and really touching. I know people who would say "Bum" or "Hobo". The funny thing is when i look at a homeless person i still see a person. I've met the homeless in the neighborhood and some are nice people that just got dealt a bad deck of cards in life.

Great theme. There is a lot of people oucasted and reject by the society for a reason or another one. As you said due to the lost of their job or from borken families.
We don't talk enough about these persons and most part of time, not foe good reasons.
I hear too much politics who say they're in this situation because it's their choics, because they are lazy and don't even want to work or other moutains of bullshits like this.

I had many occasion to talk with tramps and hobos and they all are way to enjoy their crappy situations.

NIce one, well done and good colors. A liitle perspectice problem with bricks on the wall but it's not that bad (perspective is hard to do XP)

I enjoy this piece and I agree, we are in bad times but what are we going to do when all the baby boomers retire? Will there be so many jobs it'll cause problems? Will it ruin the economy and crush nations? You never know what good or bad will come in the future. Instead, you just need to move forward with a smile on your face and hope for the best in life. :)
