ON THE COVER:
Intrepid image artiste, Scott Killeen, passed muster once again with this impressionistic version of "One side painted, one side being painted" that has mesmerized masses throughout Petersen Publishing, L.L.C.  Tremendously compensated models, Matt Hardesty and Brendan Maze, gave up their high-paying editor (former) and associate editor (latter) positions to be featured on the cover.  They've reportedly now opened up their own body shop in Cucamonga, California.
