Gerard Way is a singer-songwriter
musician and comic book artist but we
all know him as the lead singer of the
soundtrack of our tragic youth yes I'm
drawing the face of My Chemical Romance
born in the year 1977 Gerard was raised
in Belleville New Jersey alongside his
brother Mikey Way Gerard maternal
grandmother planted a creative C in the
boil he was growing up and taught him to
paint sing and perform he would later
write the song Hellena in honor for
passing and to help deal with the law
not only in stir art a musician but he
is also an artist he graduated from the
School of Visual Arts in New York which
is no scheme Darts College and had every
intention of pursuing a career in the
comic-book industry on September 11th
2001 while working at Cartoon Network in
New York Gerard witnessed the terror
attacks on the World Trade Center that
day changed every American's life and
Gerard was no exception
it opened his eyes to the utility of
what he was doing as a basement artist
and so instead he turned his efforts
towards making it different or he was
still around to do so he wrote skylines
and turnstiles and co-created My
Chemical Romance through the next 12
years My Chemical Romance made for very
successful albums they became the
quintessential emo bands with their
unique brand of silent dangerous pop
music funnily enough Gerard describes
the email genre as being garbage but my
dear sweet boy this is that an email
point-of-view to have not regardless of
genre MC ARS music was punky popular and
cut to the heart of many young people's
emotional struggles but namely garrard
garrard suffered with alcoholism
prescription drug addiction and
depression throughout his life the band
took off so did drugs drinking at the
time it was just something he felt he
had to do to be Gerard on stage and his
rock and roll attitude pushed him to
rock bottom twice in his life he
considered suicide and he's quoted in
saying that my Chemical Romance saved
his life twice once in the beginning
when I was depressed and then again when
I was an alcoholic
it gave me a purpose in July of 2004
after a suicidal night high on booze
pills and cocaine
Gerard went on a walk with her to a
miniature and the been literally banded
together and lended their support to him
quitting drugs alcohol 17 days later he
was clean and sober and has been ever
since his background in art had a huge
influence on each of MC art album as
well as this 2014 solo album hesitant
alien each album has a visual identity a
palette
a tone his illustrations are even
featured as the cover of three cheers
for Sweet Revenge after My Chemical
Romance disbanded Jerrod returned to
being the comic artist who started his
journey off trying to be his eighth page
story apocalypse sweet won the 2008
either award for best limited series and
as of becoming a dad his work has taken
on a new life the theme of family
prevails for his recent comics and on
top of all that he pops onto the TV
scene every once in a while to write and
direct cartoons
sure I just can't keep his little hands
away from making things with just about
every creative field there is and cheers
