Every Saturday, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 29-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
Cave In
Cave in, caving in
Longevity starburst, anti-design, whiting out the typos
fish without arms fly around the room
Cave in, caving in
Coaxing imposters to call the Rival Theories Hotline
to mainline a dose of duality
Cave in, caving in
Passengers, scientists of fear
lean over the rail on the Titanic II
imagining the ocean floor
Cave in, caving in
Shatter the unshakable
Cave in
