I'll be sharing some gems from lo, these many years of singing on The Rudy Schwartz Project albums. It's been a dream come true to work with one of my musical heroes on his delirious nightmares.
Up first, a cautionary tale about relations who Should. Not. Be. Invited.

The big drawing sucked but I liked his suit & shirt so I erased his head. The small one is better, except his ears are weird. I figure his left one got mangled in a knife fight. This guy's name would be Deuce or Tire Iron Teddy & he woulda been in some nasty fights.

Taking a break from the orphan photos to do quick character studies from a book of New York tabloid crime photos.

A flapper being sentenced for murder, with her attorney present. From a book of crime photographs. I'm not going to show you the ink version because when I inked it, I kind of ruined it. I'm really struggling with inking.

Writing as they say, is rewriting. Same with drawing for me. This is the kid I originally called Jean Shade. I had to draw him four times before I got one I found acceptable. (I do really like his buttons.) Also, I changed his name and expanded his text.

My inking is slowly getting better. It's a whole other thing. I always just drew in either pencil or pen. Doing pencil first and then pen is a completely different technique.

New Dave song! I wrote this in the 90s but it languished 'cause I didn't like the lyrics. So I rewrote it. recorded it on 8-track cassette, (yeah that's what I said), then mixed, mastered & bandcamped it in under 24 hours because fast turnaround & zero budget is how we do it here at the Rat Palace.

I'll be at Wake the Dead in San Marcos on Friday, just playing my guitar, just me & my electronic noise boxes. (Clutch gets the night off.)
No singing for once, so you can read a book!
Oh, who are we kidding? You're going to doom scroll the whole time. It's okay. We can't stop the tide.
