VNA Issue 26: 3D - London and Bristol launches, by geoffw on May 21, 2014 15:27:28 GMT 1, So further details on LE:
Pink cover - London - 75 available Yellow cover - Bristol - 50 available
Priced at ยฃ40 for the mag and a screened tote bag. Any left over from the opening allocations will go online and we'll also run the usual lottery for those unable to make it. We're still sorting out whether the lotto will have both colour options.

New Faile book covers @papermonster.net on 20th May, by geoffw on May 21, 2014 9:46:19 GMT 1, I'd say more of a mixed bag. Some nice pieces but a lot of very average images and some downright odd choices/compositions that definitely fit that description.
That said if anyone on here got Whiskeys Tails and wants to part with it PM me - my favourite of the bunch (because it looks like parents' old cat!)

New Faile book covers @papermonster.net on 20th May, by geoffw on May 20, 2014 16:55:55 GMT 1, history would seen to indicate that is not the case, there is not an active market in these. only a few have ever come up for resale publicly and those that have sold have usually sold at cost to a good bit above cost depending on the image. i have not seen any sell below cost publicly. They are priced at market and the folks in the market for a small original are usually pretty happy to get their hands on them. those looking for a quick flip are wise to avoid these though I guess these will sell out right away. Still I think they are doing themselves a disservice with this type of drop where people have to just grab something without thinking about it. I suspect there will be a lot of regret and maybe some below cost desperate flips. Easy pass for me. Good luck for those who are trying. Hope you get something you like. Agreed...got mine at just over cost, I can only recall one other being for sale (and another I was offered privately at about 15% premium due to the image). The rest seem to stay with the original purchaser.

VNA Issue 26: 3D - London and Bristol launches, by geoffw on Apr 16, 2014 15:58:41 GMT 1, Almost that time again when the world's best-smelling magazine (we've not tested this assertion but honestly, can another mag smell as good?) hits the shelves. We're just finishing the issue off now but rest assured we've got a cracking line-up of artists for #26.
We've got large-scale muralists, fine art, graff writers who've transitioned to galleries, abstract art and even some skateboarding. From London and California, to New York and Penang we've scoured the world to bring you killer content.
As for the cover artist, we've returned to the UK to chat to a hugely influential artist who has been integral to the local art scene since running around with a spray can in his teens, to his artwork being seen by millions across the globe.
As usual, we'll have a London launch for the Limited Edition in May. More details on that and the issue to come on here.

VNA 25 , by geoffw on Feb 15, 2014 16:28:36 GMT 1, Hey all - sorry I've been on here much, new day job sent to the US for a few weeks and then I got sick so missed the launch.
G has pretty much said what I was going to regarding the effort that goes into making the mag, when we all have full time jobs and some of the team have small children. Sure some screenprinted covers aren't as intricate as others but you have to remember we have to work with and respect the artist's wishes, as well as try and work within their usually pretty hectic schedules.

VNA Issue 24 LE packs, by geoffw on Dec 19, 2013 11:08:39 GMT 1, Ah.. The delay the PayPal dispute ploy. That way you can run off proceeds of your crime. Me I attend on the night (where I can), grab a ticket, throw some notes at a hapless person while grabbing a lovely mag, then run off to drink the righteous drunk, and generally talking arty b'sh1t. Geoff, if you find a TLP Ltd Mag down the back of the VNA sofa, let me know. To everyone else, I am happy to stake my very limited reputation on backing Geoff and the gang. The toppiest bunch of people you are ever likely to have the pleasure doing business with. Yep writing this from the beach in Brasil
TLP limited? Well given that we'll need to turn the office upside down etc. to sort all this I'll keep an eye out!

VNA Issue 24 LE packs, by geoffw on Dec 18, 2013 10:40:05 GMT 1, Hi,
I know some peeps on here PM'd me about this etc. but I wanted to make a thread just to give everyone a heads up. It's only just come to our attention that a fair few people who won the lottery haven't had their copies posted out.
This is due to the VNA brain, aka our Mac, suffering some issues, screwing up the Royal Mail postage software and combined with some major staff issues that have really messed things up big time - if anyone has emailed Ro be aware she hasn't been in the office for over 6 weeks, hence the radio silence. We assumed things had happened and it turns out, they hadn't.
I'm raising this as I know the deadline for raising a Paypal dispute has either passed or is about to pass. Don't worry you will be getting your LE mag!!
We're working through this now but some people may not receive their copies until after Xmas/New Year. Again, sorry for that.
We have all the lotto winners details, paypal invoices etc. (so please don't email chancing your luck if you weren't selected!) but please bear with us while we work through all of this and try make it all right. And also accept our sincere apologies for anyone who has been waiting...they are coming!
If any Lottery winners have any issues / concerns / question can you please email: ltd@verynearlyalmost.com as that is the one inbox where we have all the lottery winner email responses etc.
Thank you, Team VNA

Laminate - Faile, Keyes, Eelus & Hush, by geoffw on Dec 11, 2013 17:59:34 GMT 1, So do they (Laminate) get the artist's permission to reproduce their work? And is it screened or digital? josh keyes said a few months back that he doesn't receive any percentage on the sales, only a complimentary copy... He is aware of the issues with Laminate and hopefully he will soon end this collaboration... He is damaging his reputation to ally with that kind of people imo. What?!?! Wow that is bad.

VNA Issue 24: Paul Insect - Launches Nov 7th, by geoffw on Nov 13, 2013 15:25:13 GMT 1, Right seems everyone's realised but yes all lottery winners have been drawn and notified. Definitely check the 'junk' or 'spam' folder as I know some systems will dump it in there, esp if you use a work address.
If any go unclaimed, and usually a couple do, additional winners will be selected and notified in about a week.

Sorry I can't enter it for you if you email or PM me, it has to be that address.
