Bio:
HAILING from Camden South Carolina spawned August 29th 1972 a
Catholic boy of Scottish/Irish decent, the year Iggy and The
Stooges Raw Power confused the masses, sharing the same birth
date as the likes of GG Allin and Michael Jackson, Dave Glass
Riddick was untuned to the world.
A latchkey, Ritalin kid turning 16 out of his
Moms home roaming up and down the east coast, a nomad seemingly
going nowhere fast. Moving now more than 34 times with job descriptions
from metal fabricator, nightshift plastic plant monitor, repoman,
pizza delivery guy, landscaper, mechanics asst., demolition man,
painter, ice cream man, pre press operator, shipping manager,
screen printer, electricians asst., graphic designer, illustrator,
drummer for countless music projects since High School in the
late 80's, now resides as a "Yankee Trader" in Philadelphia
since 1991-92, with a brief stint in Brooklyn NY scraping by
selling art on Bedford Ave out of a shopping cart summer 2002.
Love, lust, and heartbreak of the female persuasion has inspired
Dave Glass to immortalized these creatures in the only way he can,
out of mind with a paint brush. All a part of life's experience
have found the touch of a woman to be the most heartfelt in survival
no matter what. Dedicated to all those lovely kittens, barflies,
lonely hearts, punk rockers, goths, rockers, psychos and upstarts.
Dave Glass' punk art can be traced back to the mid to late 1980s
thru early 1990s which mostly featured xeroxed collage non illustrated
art. His formative punk art first appeared in middle and high school
years scribbled in pen and spraypaint on skate boards, hand cut
linoleum blocks, brown paper bag book covers, spray painted stencils
on T-shirts and everything else as a very misunderstood boy. On
many occasions he was sent home from school or punished with days
in the hole (ISS in school suspension) for his creations. Determined
to let the authority know at even a young age there is more to
this world than their status quo and he was fed up with it all.
In 1997 the punk rawk n roll band The Strychnine Babies rampaged
the streets of Philadelphia and drummer Dave started producing
the first printed punk girls on flyers, stickers, and album covers
for the band spit between NYC and Philly, where all the most devious
city kittens dwell.
The new millennium has unleashed Dave Glass designing and screen
printing art tees and band merchandise by hand for Sour Puss Clothing,
Tattooed Kingpin, and his own company Ink Runs Cold. Clients have
included numerous licensed merchandise for the likes of New York
Dolls, Blondie, Ramones, The Stooges to GG Allin, Plasmatics, Dead
Kennedys, and DRI. Album covers and Rock Posters have included
work for GBH, Holidays In The Sun Festival, The New York Rel-x,
Texas Roller Derby, among others and some of his own bands like
