Southern Traipse Paintings & Books Tour

Similar to the small regional tours taken by independent bands in the 1980s, Derek Erdman will visit 10 or 11 cities in the south and northeast in a very short amount of time, with the hope of being received by a small but enthusiastic group of people in every town. Each stop will feature an unsanctioned showing of paintings and books on the street, either on an unused wooden wall, a park bench, a parking lot, in the woods, back of a Publix, etc. Erdman said he has made a total of 120 paintings and each show will have 8-12 paintings, plus copies of the Great Gatsby in all caps and a new zine called "Those Fun Nuns."
