Hobos Today

A great amount of signs i studied have been hobocodes. Symbols used by hobos, homeless people, wich traveld around the US mainly during the time of the great depression. They used those signs to communicate with each other. Following the idea of helping out strangers, but companions out of conviction, I created Hobocodes for todays purpose. The resulting Stickerpackage is the first step for getting used to the concept of Hobocodes. Each set contains stickers, a manual as well as a postcard. Theres also a website providing more background information. The Stickersheet featuring the new Hobocodes can also be downloaded there for selfprinting.
