TWO STABS’ ARE BETTER THAN ONE 08.04.05
The March–April edition of Stab magazine featured two covers, one of Joel

two covers were in response to changing fortunes in the production of the
magazine and not as any cheap gimcrackery. We'd sunk a tonne of cash into
shooting Joel (hand-sewn jacket, $400 jeans, we flew Sydney shooter Steve
Baccon to the Gold Coast,) and then we get the turn of Slater's life – a
faux oop from France. Never been run anywhere. So we threw a little more
money at the printers and we had two covers.”
