Monster Children 25's Ryan McGinley cover shot is so good, we decided one cover was enough this time around.
The man himself gives us 10 pages of gold, while Rob Machado and Lance mountain talk about their pursuits
outside of surfing and skating. Campbell Scott tells us about tattooing Mexican inmates and Derek Albreck mixes
satan and rainbows, the result is damn impressive. All the usual Monster Children malarkey is present for you
lucky readers.
Monster Children Issue 24 is finally back from the printers featuring an interview with Spike Jonze and 12 pages of behind the scenes Where The Wild Things Are photos, Dane Reynolds wants to shit on his own art, Kelsey Brooks throws us some colour, we break down the CBS wall and feature a host of other Monster Children jerks.
Number 23 of Monster Children is the 'not so annual' Photo Issue. In fact, it's only the second one we've done. It has turned out pretty damn nicely however. This issue the cover situation is a little different to usual. Our Newsagent distributor didn't share the same affinity for Hedi Slimane's shot of Kate Moss' breasts as us, so this cover will only be available at bookstores, online, and for some lucky subscribers. While the newsagents copies will have a selection of photos that we've printed and stuck to the front. Sometimes we're so clever. Inside we’ve spoken to Hedi Slimane, Tim Barber and Richard Kern and have got a whole bunch of pretty pictures from many more.
Issue 22 has finished up at the factory and will be squashed between the surf mags and the porno’s at your local soon enough. As for the covers, the first features Cody Hudson’s iconic balloons in a great typographic treatment and the second is a sunset snap by Mike OMeally of Reece Forbes launching a mammoth ollie in St Kilda.
Features Vice co-founder Shane Smith, PAM, Collider, Matt Irving, Michael Corridore, Damien Hirst, Alex Olson, Mollusk and a proper shitload more.
Welcome to Issue 21. One cover features a Monster Children Collage of bits and pieces we've collected over the years, the other is a work of Thomas Campbells from his feature story within the magazine.
Other features include the photography of Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontman Nick Zinner, Todd Selby the man behind the aptley named 'The Selby' project shows us some of his favourite rooms he's shot. 4 pages are dedicated to French's intricate but dark illustrations and we find out what embroider Tim Moore gets up to. There's also great Reportage photography, a christmas giftguide, we look inside Andrew Pommiers backpack, read Andy Jenkins bender pages and get all sooked up and damn pussy with VD's love for his Mum.
Well shit. We hit issue 20. Dust of the fairy bread and break out the beer bong. One cover features the skulls of Michael Leon, the other is an all black one with a free balloon by Todd James (Reas). Both artists feature heavily throughout the issue in good 8 page profiles.
We also look at Film vs Digital in regards to photography, go to China with Deanne Cheuk and friends and check out 11 of our favourites and their favourite tshirts.
This time around we tell you fifty things you should know about Australia in 2008, decide whether Aaron Horkey is an artist, father or drafting god (answer: he’s damn good at all three) and check out Joram, Connor and Jye, three snowboarder punks from the hills of OZ and NZ.
We’ve got some South Australian snaps from Andrew Cowen whilst Kate Williams tracks down elusive photographers Patrick O’Dell and Angela Boatwright. Dan Malloy explains how he could’ve been a brickie. There’s also ten topics with Andy Jenkins, eleven songs with Anton Newcombe from the Brian Jones Town Massacre and a whole swag more.
