Dave Glass

Seething through his youth, a Ritalin prescribed, ADHD, latchkey Catholic Altar Boy in the Carolinas, who knelt at the altar of fear and lies and rang the sanctus bells - tolling for the black sheep of broken homes. Art and music has since remained an outlet for "Dave Glass" Riddick.

   Raised in the 1970's, young Glass was immersed in pop culture - collecting puffy monster stickers and Evel Knievel items, staging mock battles with Star Wars and G.I. Joe action figures, and building hot rod and war machine models in the haze of Testors glue fumes. Un-tuned to the world, he found an escape discovering sub-cultures in the 1980's. Igniting his journey, teenage Glass began scribbling on school desks, skateboards, and brown paper bag book covers, as well as making homemade punk rock stencil spray painted and Sharpie pen T-shirts, and painting leather, army and denim jackets. His work was majorly influenced from skateboarding culture, and drumming for punk/hardcore bands.

   Dave Glass has since illustrated and designed album covers, posters, and t-shirts for numerous bands, from GBH to Soundgarden. In addition, has hand screen printed licensed clothing and merchandise for boundless bands around the world, ranging from punk rock to black metal. Some select clients have included AC/DC, GG Allin, Dead Boys, Ramones, Numenorean, and Watain. Glass also creates art for anything else subversive around the world, ranging from the adult industry to burlesque troupes, as well as roller derby promotions and tattoo conventions. His 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, in addition to numerous international publications such as Numinous Magazine, Tattoo Mania Magazine, Carbon 14, and Devolution Magazine. His art has been exhibited in galleries and venues from Philadelphia to Germany, including Black Vulture Gallery and House Of Blues Disney World.
