ean Taggart is the guy that has drawn covers, flyers and merchandise artwork of some of my favorite, and probably yours, since you are reading this zine, bands ever! Agnostic Front, Crumbsuckers, CroMags, Murphy’s Law, Carnivore, Napalm Death or even Backtrack, Twitching Tongues, Downpresser, you name it! I was super happy when he agreed to do that intie for Soulcraft, so I tried to ask him as much as ‘not typical’ questions I could ask. Enjoy!
meaning that I make a meager amount of money from selling my art. Sometimes, actually a lot of times, I have to take full time jobs. My most recent one was at the national grocery chain. Sol Rosenberg or Jack Tors are pretty much my favorite Jerky Boy characters. They’re a little more silly and outrageous. Honestly I’m rarely in the city these days, but whenever I’m in the E. Vill. I eat at Mamoun’s, great shwarma! People usually refer L.E.S. when really, they’re talking about the East Village. Katz’s is where I go when I’m down in the Lower East Side. I grew up down there, so it’s kind of annoying to hear people mix the two together. Dudes from Queens and Brooklyn are to blame for that! Ha!

The situation with the pandemic in US, and especially in NY, is pretty rough right now. Is there anyone in charge to blame for all this shit except that racist argument that a Chinese guy ate a bat and all evolved from there?
