For June, REBEL8 has worked with artist Sean Taggart on two graphic T-Shirts. He began his career in the early 1980s doing flyers and album covers for bands in the New York Hardcore scene. "At a time when a shittily drawn skull with a Mohawk would suffice for a bands' record cover or gig flyer, Sean blew minds and corneas with his intricate though mentally twisted imagery. From the menacing skinheads, pinheads and misfits he scrawled for early Cro-Mags show to the dizzying full color spectacles that adorned the covers of Agnostic Front's Cause for Alarm and the Crumbsuckers' 'Life of Dreams, Taggart is the closest the Hardcore scene has ever got to a visual artist on the level of Pedro Bell in the way he crafted something you could get lost in for hours on end." – Tony Rettman VICE | | REBEL8 2825 South Sante Fe Avenue Vernon, California 90058 Please don't Unsubscribe | | | | |
