Monster Children

Fuck, Swag, Fuck gets pretty repetitive

This is his website, this is funny, this is his favourite food, and this is his latest MIX. ENJOY  

The most iconic name in the surf industry is celebrating its 60th year of operation and innovation with a global art tour curated by Monster Children.

Starting in Sydney on March 15th, art work by Thomas Campbell, Geoff McFetridge, Mark Penxa, Jim Phillips Jnr, Tim Chapman and Liam Gerrard, along with a plethora of O'Neill memorabilia will be exhibited in a global art and innovation tour. The exhibition will travel through Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America, with the final exhibition being seen in Santa Cruz at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic WT surf event in November.

O'Neill and Monster Children want aspiring artists to be involved and are inviting the public to submit your artistic interpretations of founder, Jack O'Neill. The best six received will be exhibited along side the art works at the Sydney exhibition. Every region will invite locals to this competition, but for now Australian and New Zealand artists head to www.60yearsofinnovation.tumblr.com for a reference image and upload your images of final artwork to oneillart@monsterchildren.com with you age, location of residence and website/blog (if applicable). 

Exhibition opens in Sydney, 6pm Thursday 15th March, The Old Paramount Building, 80 Commonwealth St, Surry Hills.

Matt Box did the little Dill water color vid about 6 months ago and has created this piece recently with Dylan. Must be some painstaking frame by frame drawing going on with these, really impressive stuff. 

Monster Children contributor Aaron Rose has created this short video for Comme des Garcons featuring Chris Johanson. Would post the video direct but it's locked in over at Purple. 

Easiest $200 million any artist will ever make, never to be repeated no doubt. 

We share a building with these guys in Sydney, and by the looks of things they are taking over the world with Bali set up and Venice, CA happening some time soon. In no time they will get so big we will probably be out on our asses looking for a new space, but for now we will annoy them with our loud music and skating around the office.

We've been banging on about these T Shirts for a while now and finally they are available over at the shop. New designs by Tim Chapman, Mark McKee, and Tristan Ceddia adorn this set, plus an original design by Natas Kaupas and a few in-house designs we threw together. We've even got the kids covered with the 'Skating Wolf' coming in adults and nipper sizes. Editions are limited and not going to be sold anywhere other than here, and for the next week there is free shipping to any part of the world. Shipping coast will apply from midday next Wednesday the 25th of Jan (Australian Eastern Time), so hurry up. 

One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, lives a charmed life but never forgets his please and thank you's. 

Brisbane's GoMA has a fantastic exhibition of works by seminal Japanese Artist, Yayoi Kusama, at the moment. Tons of vibrant urethane and fiberglass creations plus the 'Obliteration Room,' kids with stickers gone crazy. Continues until 11 March and it's free cheapskate so no excuses. 

Robbie at Super Awesome and his mates are bringing back loud colours on young ladies in their monthly calendars. January just dropped, so head to the site and take a look. 

Bob Hawke - Australian Prime Minister from 1983-1990. This is him yesterday, aged 73. What you got Mitt Romney? 

Monster Children Issue 33 is sitting in your local shop today so go out and get one for yourself and your mum/mom (depending on where you are in the world). In 33 we send Jason Crombie, in search of the illusive Chad Muska, while our man in London, Zac Bayly, manages to hunt down the just as illusive Jamie Hewlett and Anton Corbijn, our cover stars of Issue 33. Photographer, Pat Graham, was kind enough to let us run some pages from his amazing book,Instrument, with behind the scenes stories of the affection musicians have for their instruments of choice. Kurt Cobain, Ian Curtis and Ian Mac Kaye are just some of the influential musicians we have covered in this feature. Henry Rollins explains how to survive capitalism, Aaron Rose introduces the work of Gia Coppola.  All this, and a set of tits and ass that only a higher power could have sculpted. 

Bouncers are an interesting breed. There are the big bastards that you wanna shy away from, but it's always the little one's that scare the shit out of me.... I saw this documentary late one night on TV, and earlier this year someone was kind enough to upload it to Youtube. Dude at 11 minutes must see some sites. 

Byron Bay based THRILLS just knocked on our door with this bike, the BMX hybrid Scrambler. They said it needs a new owner and a home by this Friday morning. Want to win it? All you have to do is head over to their page here, hit the Like button, and on Friday morning we will draw the winners name. Brooke from THRILLS will even ride it around to your house and give you a big hug.

Like Campbell said recently, these little cruiser boards are getting kids of Razor Scooters, and heaven knows we can do with less of them. The Bantam, by Globe, is the latest player in the market.
