| Who Is Bozo Texino? is a documentary film about the 100-year-old tradition of hobo and railworker graffiti.
The project is the result of a 20-year study of "monikers" by filmmaker/artist Bill Daniel and is created from hours of 16mm and super 8 film, most of it shot on freight trips across the western US. The film includes interviews with some of the railroad's greatest graffiti legends: Colossus of Roads, The Rambler, Herby (RIP) and the granddaddy of them all, Bozo Texino. The film also catches some of the socioeconomic history of hobo subculture from its roots after the Civil War to the present day. | |
