kICKASS PUNK ROCK ILLUSTRATOR
" PUNK IS MORE THAN MUSIC, IT'S A LIFESTYLE WITH ARTISTIC EYES LURKING BENEATH THE SHADOWS PEEPING THRU WINDOWS WITH CATARACTS FROM DEMENTIA OF A WORLD GONE SOUR. " Dave Glass for No Front Teeth Magazine UK 2002
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. A teenager un tuned to the world in 1985 Glass began, scribbling punk, thrash, hardcore band logos and slogans on skateboards, school desks, notebooks, and spray painting skate ramps and t-shirts, igniting his journey. Not until the early 1990's did his subject matter feature punk and goth girls, after which he was dubbed 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. He formed INK RUNS COLD a few years later contracting his services to like minded companies, and also produced his personal merchandise.
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 DTO Doomed To Obscurity.

She'll take you down
She'll take you
She'll take you around X2
She rides
Let loose upon the world
She is the night
And my loneliness in bondage
She's black
And sin runs down her back
She rides
From the daylight in chains
She rides the night
She rides at night
She'll take you down
She'll take you
She'll take you around

She trembled like a virgin movin' toward her wedding bed
Stumbled down that hallway like the dawn of the dead
Crept in like a creature, tryin' to crawl right through your soul
She brought in a winter chill that stayed till she was gone
She knelt down to pray like she thought it might be
Something that she could hold over me
Now she crept in like a creature
So sweet you'd love to beat her
Fell down on her knees
Prayin' to the thieves that stole her soul

She was prayin' to the thieves that stole her soul
She brought in a winter chill that just stayed till she was gone
Now she trembled like a virgin movin' toward that wedding bed
Stumbled down the hall like the dawn of the dead
Crept in like a creature, tryin' to crawl right through your soul
She knelt down to pray like she thought it might be
Something that she could hold over me
