Every week, 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 37-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
Orange Sunset
This sunset spreads orange
across the sky

white female
ambassador of lust
He said,
“Come with me
I know
you like to suck and fuck.”
