Just finished drawing this flyer for the next Random Family gig. It's a good thing we don't play very often because it takes me forever to do one of these.
A black and whit cartoon of two clowns being chased by a clown policeman. Behind them, a circus tent is on fire.

Recent mini-sketchbook drawings. I bought these little 4x4 inch sketchbooks that fit in my pocket, in the hopes that I would draw more. It's kinda working.

I drew a poster for a show I'm playing at Wake the Dead coffee house in San Marcos, TX.
Black and white flyer for a music performance at Wake the Dead coffee house in San Marcos, TX on June 19, 2026. The acts are The Not Sures and Mandatory Zen. The show is at 7 pm and there is no cover charge. The imagery is in the style of old horror comics and movie posters, with a skull smoking a cigarette, chiseled gravestone fonts, etc.

Whoa! Subvert-dot-fm is open to the public. What is it? An artist-owned, co-operative alternative to bandcamp, which is where most independent artists (like me) vend their music. So here's my latest album. available on a NON-COPORATE website! Kudos to the team! www.subvert.fm/david-morris...

I was going to call this Heart Attack on the Dance Floor, but it turned out that title was taken, so I called it Disco Thrombosis, which I actually like better. @waldo-corndog.bsky.social mixed and mastered it for me, as well as adding some exquisite sound effects that make it much more cinematic.

Eat at Joe's Track 7—The Great Amnesia. In which I imagine postapocalyptic nostalgia for things like the internet & the biosphere. That heavy metal guitar is played on my beloved Pignose guitar amp, which would fit in a breadbox. A breadbox was a box your grandma used to have. She put bread in it.

Track 4 from Eat at Joe's—Black Curly Wig. The germ of this goes back to the 90s. A year or so ago, I tweaked the music a bit & asked @waldo-corndog.bsky.social to write new lyrics. He also wrote a better melody. I made 1 or 2 adjustments & boom! A new song, one I wasn't sick of.

I oppose our Israel policy & I didn't think either party was going to match my views. I could only vote for the least bad option, which in this case was Kamala Harris by a mile.
