David Ouimet is an American musician and artist. He was a band member of Cop Shoot Cop, Motherhead Bug, Firewater, and Sulfur but has since moved on to interests other than music.

He grew up in Memphis, Tennessee in a music oriented household. Having been introduced to synthesizers in his teenage years, he developed an interest in editing. He moved to Rhode Island where he developed a friendship with future band mate Tod Ashley and Jon Spencer.^[1]

In the early 1990s, Ouimet cofounded noise rock group Cop Shoot Cop. He played sampler and keyboards, and left after their first album to form Motherhead Bug, with whom he sang and played trombone. He's also recorded and toured with Foetus and Swans.

Ouimet's illustrations of creepy, bipedal, fez-capped insect creatures (usually wielding scimitars or smoking hookahs) were featured on Motherhead Bug's singles and album, and he has continued his career as an illustrator with Robert D. San Souci's Dare to be Scared series and Nancy Etchmendy's Cat In Glass and other Tales of the Unnatural.
