Josh Keyes - Fecal Face Gallery, by geoffw on Mar 31, 2011 16:37:39 GMT 1, I like that more that the first image...is this entire show basing its elements on mythology? First Cerberus as the African Tiger and now what looks like Medusa in Deer form

VeryNearlyAlmost #14 - Sickboy, Mysterious Al.., by geoffw on Feb 14, 2011 10:48:44 GMT 1, Absentee...i'll check on the print thing, not sure as I haven't had chance to go through the mag myself yet. Lottery details soon - bear with us
Shower...awesome - good timing with Al turning up too. Glad you liked it.
And once again thanks to all who made it down in the rain to make the launch a massive success. We all appreciate your support. As for the next one...Sweetoof, Flying Fortress - all strong ideas for a cover and def people we should look into as they'd do a killer job.
But we have a plan for 15 already...and by 'plan' I mean 'fucking amazing idea'!

VeryNearlyAlmost #14 - Sickboy, Mysterious Al.., by geoffw on Feb 11, 2011 16:22:54 GMT 1, Thanks to everyone who came out....yeah I was handing out the Ltd Edition decks, Stephen - it was pretty random but we tried to give one away to the 50th purchase of the mag (after vague attempts to count in my head), then another to whoever seemed like they had come the furthest for the the event. Dunno how I did on that front but a 2 hr train journey seemed pretty dedicated so that person got one.
Many thanks to everyone who came out in support of VNA and made the event such a success...took a while to clean up close to 1,000 empty beer bottles afterwards! It even stopped raining for a while too.

We're trying to figure out the online sale bit as the website always crashes. Always. Also be the usual "willy wonka-esque" chase of some limited editions being sent to ditributors.

VeryNearlyAlmost #14 - Sickboy, Mysterious Al.., by geoffw on Feb 3, 2011 16:32:38 GMT 1, Yes yes yes...it's that time people. VNA Issue 14 is here and this time we're Souled Out.
VeryNearlyAlmost (VNA) announces the launch of Issue 14 with a unique cover by UK artist Sickboy. Known for his iconic, brightly coloured โtempleโ work, eschewing love, positivity and inclusion, Sickboy has evolved his style to create some of the most striking work on the streets.
VNA 14 features an in-depth interview with the artist, examining his development from East London street scourge to selling out artworks in minutes, whether theyโre originals or a run of limited edition miniature wheelie bins.
As with every issue of VNA, thereโs a limited edition of just 100 signed copies adorned with a screen-printed cover produced by Sickboy. The limited edition magazines will be available at the London launch โ in hand-drawn envelopes, stuffed with a magazine, 2 custom Sickboy x Edding Marker Pens and a Sickboy sticker sheet.
Not content with covering one of the UKโs biggest hitting artists, VNA 14 talks to one of the original โstreet artistsโ, Mysterious Al, about founding โFinders Keepersโ crew and his upcoming show at D*Faceโs StolenSpace Gallery.
Issue 14 also includes the legendary Doze Green, alongside big dog illustrator, Evan Hecox. But itโs not just about the established names, as VNA chats to Reka, Chris Stain and rising Portuguese artist, Pedro Matos.
And, you think tagging the streets takes guts, they have nothing on one of Banksyโs favourite groups, the Russian art collective, Voina. We caught up with them to talk art, Russia and exactly how insane you have to be to draw a giant p***s on a bridge opposite the KGB headquarters.
If youโre in London on Thrusday February 10th, please join VNA and our hosts, Brick Laneโs "East Gallery" from 6 - 9:30pm to celebrate the launch of VNA 14.
To get on the list please email: rsvp@verynearlyalmost.com

OSCAR Nominated - Exit Through The Gift Shop, by geoffw on Jan 25, 2011 16:16:20 GMT 1, Probably a moot point TBH...I think there's at least two better docs on that list. Restrepo I didn't like the subject but the film itself was superb...but i'd prefer Inside Job to win it and given it's subject matter it probably will.

Mysterious Al ๐ฌ๐ง New Print Release โข Street Art, by geoffw on Jan 25, 2011 16:05:07 GMT 1, I've seen the bulk of this show as works in progress and there's a few larger pieces plus a range of similar-sized originals (approx 15-20) that are all stunning. They don't photograph well (as I discovered) but the detailing, textures, layers and little subliminal things in them are superb. The style is very much like the piece in the first post so if you hate that don't expect a bunch of zombified celeb pics.
As a body of work it really holds together and will IMO make for a great show.

Is Banksy Robin Gunningham?, by geoffw on Jan 13, 2011 15:11:29 GMT 1, Surely this must be someone within HMRC?
US-based isn't it? Which makes it seem even more unlikely. Either way cross-checking tax records and revealing that info (even just the name) breaks the Data Protection Act.
