Monster Children 2015 - Issue 46

I know we say this every single issue, but seriously, this issue? Number 46? It’s the best issue we ever done did. Check it out. Ex-Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns breaks his eight-year silence to tell us why he’s been silent for eight years; Skater/Painter Brian Lotti discusses the invention of the Big Spin and the virtues of lugging an easel up a hill; New York artist Weirdo Dave talks about glue and magazines and his freakishly limited experience with the Internet; and Nate Lawrence takes us behind-the-scenes of Kai Neville’s latest surf flick, Cluster. After that, Brodie Jackson does some tattoos that will make you wish you weren’t afraid to get tattoos; Color magazine’s Sandro Grison reveals Vancouver’s best places to eat, sleep, drink, skate, expel wind and party; the delightful Charles Manson takes a break from his wedding plans to tell you what the future holds in your horoscope; and Mike Gigliotti explains how a sensitive artist like himself wound up in the military. Also, Dylan Reider puts together a mix tape guaranteed to make you skate better, and, as always, Andy Jenkins, Dave Carnie, Vaughan Dead, and myself waffle on and on and on about anything we want.
