This spectacular travel adventure faithfully photographed in realistic black and white film at considerable risk from speeding freight trains and in secret hobo jungles in the dogged pursuit of the impossibly convoluted and heretofore untold history of the century-old folkloric practice known as Hobo and rail-worker graffiti and chronicling the absurd quest for the true identity of railroading's greatest artist will likely amuse and confound you in its sincere attempt to understand and preserve this mysterious art form.
Texas-reared West Coast exile and confirmed tramp, Bill Daniel continues to experiment with survivalism and bricolage in his efforts to record and report on the various social margins he inhabits. Working without a formal art or film education he endeavors to make art that connects with an outsider audience. His first art work was photodocumentation of the early 80's Texas punk scene, his current project is a hybrid documentary/installation addressing the end of the oil age.
