Seething
through his youth a Ritalin eating, latchkey, Catholic boy in the
Carolinas Dave Glass knelt at the altar of fear and lies, and rang the
bells, tooling for the black sheep of broken homes. Since 1985 Glass
began, a never before planned, future as an artist. Scribbling punk,
thrash, hardcore band logos and slogans on skateboards, school desks,
notebooks, and spray painting skate ramps and t-shirts, ignited his
journey. His subject matter has featured punk/goth girls since the early
1990's, and was coined the first "Punk Pin Up Artist" by Carbon 14
magazine in 2002. Glass has remained an underground artist illustrating
for numerous clients like The Avengers, GBH, New York Rel-x, Electric
Frankenstein, and personal endeavors such as The Strychnine Babies. Dave
Glass' work has been featured in books such as The Art Of Modern Rock,
Electric Frankenstein High Energy Rock N Roll Poster Art, Aphrodisia II
Art Of The Female Form, and numerous international underground
publications, , fanzines, and webzines.
Introduced to the trade of
screen printing in 2004 he has since produced by hand 10s of 1000s units
of licensed tattoo lifestyle clothing and merchandise for bands such as
Dead Boys, The Ramones, GG Allin, New York Dolls, The Stooges, Johnny
Thunders, Richard Hell, Blondie, Bowie, and Murphys Law to name a few.
Since 2005 he has been contracted screen printing under the moniker Ink
Runs Cold.
In addition to illustrating
and screen printing merchandise for numerous bands over the years Mr.
Glass has held the throne as drummer for many punk bands since 1987,
including The Strychnine Babies, Dead Empty, The Independents, and
current project since August 2010 Doomed To Obscurity.
In the summer of 2002 after
an eviction, living above an after hours bar in South Philly, with his
girlfriend (now wife) and 2 cats decided to move to Brooklyn NY spur of
the moment. Not able to afford our own place to live scraping by selling
art prints on Bedford Ave out of a shopping cart, winning scratch and
win lottery tickets, and refunds from recycling vendors, the move was a
bust. Hence we were sucked back into the vortex of Philthadelphia. Dave
Glass now resides with his wife, son Colin Darby (named after Darby
Crash), and Bugsy the cat in center city Philadelphia, working out of
his keystone basement studio.
