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. 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 pin up 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 Dead Empty, Dead City Psychos, and Dead Empty, to name a few.
