FERG of Jamungo Toys Interview

This interview originally appeared in I Want Your Skull Zine, Issue Two. www.jamungo.com

IWYS: Let’s start with your background…

FERG: I grew up in Austin, Texas. Man, looking back, Austin was such a rad place for a kid to grow up. This city has this really creative vibe..a total DIY thing as well. The friends I made here opened my eyes to a lot of cool stuff. As I grew up, I got into skateboarding and listening to punk rock and hardcore, and the scene in Austin in the 80’s was totally intense and totally fun. Many, many great bands. I lived like a block away from Biscuit Turner of the Big Boys and his art was all over the place. Kozik’s as well… like on telephone poles and shit.

Back then it was like, “Look at this cool flyer..awesome!” You could go down the drag before the weekend and there would be amazing flyers everywhere. Some of them by people and for people who are now total legends. I think seeing a lot of that stuff influenced me. Not really stylistically, but more the realization that you could make whatever you wanted and put it out there for people to see.
