ERIN TOBEY & FULL SUN on Southeast/East Coast tour this week!

If you live between the Gulf Of Mexico and New England, go see Erin Tobey and Full Sun on tour from May 16-25!

Erin Tobey is one of my favorite songwriters in underground music, in addition to being an amazing visual artist and one of my favorite human beings. Over the years she's been a part of Abe Froman, Mt. Gigantic, Pink Razors, Fat Shadow, and sometimes Tammar . She'll have a series of new screenprints available on tour, and is recording a much-anticipated second solo album this year.


Full Sun is the solo endeavor of Jeff Grant (also of The Sands, Fat Shadow, Pink Razors, and Stop It!!), and will be touring as a two-people-and-a-hologram band-- not to be missed! He's got a new cassette and a brand-new 7" for this tour.

Lost SAM COOKE biography comic book pages!

From the vault-- in 2008 (after finishing Swallow Me Whole ), I teamed up with writers Chris Stevens and Jason Rodriguez for a potential graphic novel biography of soul legend Sam Cooke . I penciled an 8-page demo sequence, but the project was derailed at that point. Chris now runs Philadelphia's own Locust Moon Comics, and just posted the complete demo sequence-- check it out here.

Site problems!

It turns out that most of this site (not counting the blog/news section) has been broken for upwards of two weeks now, as well as my publisher Top Shelf's site. This is due to an undisclosed server migration problem, and nobody seems to know when any of these things will be fixed.

If you want/need any info on books or projects, please search through these blog entries to find what you may need. If you'd like to order books or artwork directly from me, or need any info, you can email me at seemybrotherdance@yahoo.com.

Here's my Amazon author page, with discounted prices on all my available books as well (you can pre-order March: Book 1 for only $8.30!). Thanks for your patience, and I'll give an update as soon as I have one!
