“Something’s wrong if you’ve gotta spend all your life working for a fucking pittance.”

“We weren’t shouting about anarchy – we just loved music and we just wanted to play. It was about expression, action y’know? The fun was a bonus. We might’ve been larking about a bit onstage, but we were still coming up with the goods.” Brian James

Happy Birthday to Dave Vanian, founder and lead singer for The Damned, first wave punk pioneers turned first wave goth pioneers turned elder punk statesmen. Born 10/12/1956. Still smashing it up after all these years. #TheDamned #DaveVanian #RockHonorRoll

Well this was f*cking fun 🤘 Painted for a trade with the absolute delight and talent, @ruthietheruthless, my best attempt of young Dave Vanian of The Damned I thought this was a fun opportunity to show you how I try to approach direct reference photos, which I don't do very often. When I do I try not to replicate a singular photograph but try to look at several and see what I can understand about facial structure and try to get a balance between physical likeness, my personal art style, and most importantly personality and vibe of the subject in question. My main reference was this photo, and I wanted to incorporate the gritty intensity and snarl seen in some other photographs. Ruthie is a master of portraiture and I'll admit I was pretty intimidated by this project at the start this was super intimidating but I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Is there a job to just paint beautiful goth icons all day, and can I have that job, thanks. Thank you Ruthie!!

Happy Birthday ♎️ to Dave Vanian, mr. “Transylvanian” who has bedazzled us with his elegant and ghoulish vampire looks on and off stage and remains a seminal punk/goth icon eternally 🧛🏻‍♂️🖤🦇 @eternally_damned His steadfast dedication to the image was witnessed in an extravagant live show with The Damned last October 28th at The London Palladium titled “Night Of A Thousand Vampires” making a grand entrance which included a transition to a shaved head “Nosferatu” garb and regalia and gave the audience a pleasant rendition of Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” along with all the hits. It’s almost inevitable that his obsession with vampires and Vampira (Maila Nurmi) would be written into the song “Plan 9 Channel 7” about her supposed relationship/affair with James Dean and that’s entirely another tale. The song title was taken from the 1959 sci-fi horror cult classic Plan 9 From Outer Space and Channel 7 being the home of The Vampira Show from April 1954 to April 1955. From the early days of The Damned he has resembled many ghastly vampires such as the likes of Udo Kier in Blood for Dracula (1974) to a more elegant with frills Phantasmagoria (1985) era vampire. 🧛🏻‍♂️🩸🦇
