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 41-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
For the past few months, David and I have been having weekly phone discussions about paintings in virtual exhibitions. I’ve been writing about some of them. I recently compared a painting to the Robert Fripp guitar solo in Eno’s “Baby’s On Fire”.
