VNA 30 - Futura Limited Edition, by geoffw on May 28, 2015 11:02:43 GMT 1, Indeed they are: www.facebook.com/events/676867665779163/676876255778304/
Great Eastern Bear, next Thursday.
And again apologies for the silence on the LE - we've had some major issues with getting artwork signed off, a venue and team members welcoming new additions to the family! hopefully something close to 'normal' service will be resumed soon.
For non-locals we'll be running the usual comps/giveaways for a chance to grab a LE, although this place for people doing favours to fellow forumers.

Hi all - apologies for the silence on the VNA LE for Issue 30, we had some pretty major issues with sign-offs for things and had to get the regular print and out for our distributors. Anyway, that said here's a little teaser of what to expect from the Issue 30 LE and this is just the start...if all goes to plan we should have a little something extra too.
Launch details and timings to come!

VNA 30, by geoffw on May 20, 2015 16:14:56 GMT 1, There will be something in London at some point - had a few things fall through. We had planned a big Europe launch but that's also not happening due to cost. Once I have more details I'll let you all know.

VNA 30, by geoffw on Apr 28, 2015 15:50:38 GMT 1, Damn was just about to post it - beat me to the draw!
Anyhow, yes...VNA Issue 30 will be dropping in late May with (possibly) two launches - the main one of which won't be in the UK (don't worry UK people we'll have you covered). Yep Futura cover and a great interview, plus a LE box-set with a screened cover and a little extra surprise.
Elsewhere we've killed it with content - I'm not giving too much away right now but we have a brilliant Gallery Talk with a legend, who is very open and honest about the mistakes he's made.
Plus the usual good stuff you've come to expect.

VNA Issue 29: Cleon Peterson - London launch Feb 26, by geoffw on Mar 2, 2015 15:28:12 GMT 1, Another good launch, a free magazine, free beer, free teeth cracking pitta crisps and a great limited edition cover. What more could you ask for. Thanks Geoff, and VNA crew. I liked the pitta crisps (the green ones...the red packet was a tad too spicy for my liking!). Thanks to everyone who came down and to those who couldn't make it, the remaining LE packs will be going online at some point shortly.

VNA Issue 29: Cleon Peterson - London launch Feb 26, by geoffw on Feb 5, 2015 11:23:24 GMT 1, Hey all - sorry for the silence. Yep, we have Cleon Peterson as our cover artist and two launches - one on Feb 14th at Subliminal Projects in LA and then later in the month. We have a killer line-up of artist interviews too, including Blek Le Rat, Ricky Powell, Persue, Travis Price and a retrospective with Ron English.
The LE is, I think, our best one yet with a screen printed box and screened, signed cover, along with some unique die-cut stickers. And edition of 150, it will be available at the launches and a small number held over for a time-released launch through the website – www.verynearlyalmost.com/shop

VNA Issue 29: Cleon Peterson - London launch Feb 26, by geoffw on Jan 13, 2015 15:33:44 GMT 1, Hi all,
Happy New Year from Team VNA - hope you're all well. We're just putting together the final touches and articles for Issue 29 of VNA and it is shaping up to be an absolute corker. for our cover interview and LE we've headed over to the states to chat to an interesting guy who has blown up in the last few years - you will not be disappointed!
We're also talking to a European legend about his time hitting the streets and dodging police...and then back to the US to talk street photography with one of the pre-eminent shooters of his generation (no, not Henry Chalfont). Then for Diggin' In The Crates we've gone large and slightly political with an American artist renowned for his work mashing up icons of both entertainment and politics...
More details, names and sneak peeks soon..just as soon as we've moved offices again (for the second time).

VNA Issue 28 - Mike Giant, Nick Walker, Nunca, DMV, by geoffw on Nov 19, 2014 12:35:41 GMT 1, Some more details of this issue's content:
VNA 28 is here with the latest scoops from around the world. From all corners of the globe, the VNA team have worked hard to bring you the hottest names in contemporary art.
Always a difficult decision to pick just one standout artist from the incredible talent covered in the magazine; Mike Giant ultimately took the crown with his monochrome illustrations and tattoo-inspired scribblings. With his much-imitated, but never-bettered style, it’s a great to see the iconic REBEL8 designer on the cover.
Taking a look at INSA’s career to date, VNA delve into his past, from his childhood bedroom posters to his very latest app release – a neat little piece of tricknology by the name of ‘GIF-ITI".
Alongside this welcome blast from the past, the team bring you a world first: an interview with the entire Da Mental Vaporz crew. The infamous crew members were rounded up to discuss their intricate and entertaining patchworks, what’s kept them going for over a decade and who among them is best equipped to survive the inevitable zombie uprising.
VNA 28 also features exclusive interviews with NUNCA, DAN HILLIER, SMUG, NICK WALKER, ALEXANDER MITCHELL/BACKWOODS, CHAD MUSKA, 1UP CREW AND INTI…
And for those of you who skip straight to the pics of cool stuff on walls without words in the way, this issue’s worldwide photo coverage stretches from London to Taiwan via Sydney.

VNA Issue 28 - Mike Giant, Nick Walker, Nunca, DMV, by geoffw on Nov 10, 2014 19:30:07 GMT 1,
After a few minor delays I'm pleased to announce VNA Issue 28. The launch event will be held at Nelly Duff on Thursday, November 20th, 6-9-ish. Expect the usual shenanigans - LE cover, stickers, beer.
For this issue we've gone West Coast to chat to the one and only Mike Giant. Giant talked us through his life hitting the streets, as well as transferring his work from the wall to clothing through his Rebel8 brand. We always have to keep our British flavour too and so we managed to get some time with Nick Walker to give us the low down on street art and global adventures.
Not content with two heavy hitters we've also gone large with Nunca, even larger with the DMV crew and then a little bit abstract with skater-turned-artist Chad Muska.
Of course there's more but you'll need to buy the mag to find out what that is.
Images and more to follow.

VNA Back Issues - available now, by geoffw on Oct 31, 2014 11:23:01 GMT 1, 1 and 2 - nope they're long, long gone. Don't have them myself.
We found all these moving office so I think this will be it. As for LEs there may be the one or two not sure how they'll be handled if we decide to put them online.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by geoffw on Oct 9, 2014 14:23:27 GMT 1, And so, the latest standard edition VNA arrived today. For a bity of fun (sad case, I know) I decided to see what they would all look like together. It's bugging me like mad that I don't have 1 and 2! On the other hand, it doesnt bother me that I dont have the different colourways of a couple of the specials (just Dface and 3D I think) Happy days I very much approve of this pic. And you have the blue D*Face but not the green...impressive.

VNA 27:Aryz, Faust, Don Pendleton, Koralie, PowWow, Kozyndan, by geoffw on Aug 4, 2014 17:41:42 GMT 1, After some last minute edits and image changes I'm pleased/relieved to say that VNA Issue 27 has gone to press. And we've got an jam-packed issue once again, with our cover artist being a major European name who we are beyond stoked to have in the magazine.
I'll post more details here as we have images of the final magazine and the various covers. Personally I think this is one of the best combo of covers (retail, VNA webstore and LE) that we've done.
London launch pencilled in for late August. Stay tuned for more details!
