Jerry Hsu gives us his Ten Things He Hates, we talk with seminal surfing creative Herbie Fletcher, Jason Crombie gives us his usual rants, so do VD and Mr. Andy Jenkins and we even manage to get two sets of boobies on different pages.

Meet Suzy, the new editor of Monster Children. She had the reigns with Monster Children issue 28 and created a pretty sweet issue. Suzy got her long time pal Jamie Brisick to bring together an amazing story on the elusive but forever influential artist Raymond Pettibon. Stylish Viking skateboarder Arto Saari shares with us some intimate photos he's captured on the road, while we delve in to the world of seminal designer and artist from West Australia Deanne Cheuk. Jason Crombie hunts down shark's for us in Montauk, New York and we get a behind the scenes look of the Adidas Skate and Create creative execution. All this plus a crossword, an interview with Suzy, a story about when it is OK to kill animals and did we mention a bloody great bottle opener we did with our mates at Corona? Go buy eight! 

Ever owned a Radiohead album? Almost as well known for their music is the artwork that wraps around their CD’s. Stanley Donwood, the man responsible these impressive pieces, was kind enough to give us a seven page interview as well as a back catalogue of his work in issue 27. We hit the road with Julian Casablanca’s while he was on his recent Australian tour; we also have coffee with Harmony Korine in New York and unveil some amazing pieces by Williamsburg artist Wes Lang. Monster Children 27 is privileged to have seminal photographer Joseph Szabo as a contributor with his images of Jones Beach and Rolling Stones concerts from the late 70’s. As well as amazing photography from our man from way back Ari Marcopoulos, you can get a lesson in balding from our senior writer Vaughan Dead, learn what Andy Jenkins’ is up to tomorrow and find out the music that influenced the sound of James Lavelle’s musical project UNKLE. All this stuff and a bunch more rambling from us in issue 27. Go buy one now…do it.

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.
