VNA 23: Faile, Eelus, Morning Breath, Prefab, Sieben,Vibes, by geoffw on Aug 9, 2013 9:26:55 GMT 1, Thanks everyone...yep clocked the randoms in the queue but if they've been there since 3 or whatever I couldn't refuse to give 'em a ticket on some sort of Orwellian notion that I'm convinced they're flippers. The best was the youngest asking for a Becks and being handed a can of Coke at the bar.
Great to see usual faces and some of the board members.
What's an archived Special Edition?

Anyway hope to see a lot of you on Thursday at Lazarides Rathbone Place.

What's going on with POW?, by geoffw on Aug 2, 2013 16:01:49 GMT 1, I imagine its just a case of they haven't renewed the lease, and kept the place open whilst they were still paying rent on it. Prob would have closed it sooner if that wasn't the case. Always seemed a bit pointless to me anyway, since any release of any worth would sell out in milliseconds online and they didn't really use it as a gallery space, so whats the point in having an expensive retail space? Total guess and ill-informed speculation on my part though! The basement was the screenprinters and storage too so everything was on site. At peak times when they were working on multiple prints (even small runs) with multiple layers you need space for the drying racks and storage for the old screens.
Then factor in all their print stock that was also stored there and you could soon fill the place up.

What's going on with POW?, by geoffw on Aug 2, 2013 12:13:26 GMT 1, I hope they come back - the space was lovely and they were super-supportive of VNA from a very early stage, culminating int he Invader LE launch we held at the gallery. I remember packing away the LE for the launch in the downstairs printing room surrounded by some of the best art I've seen. Took me 2.5 hours to out 100 mags in envelopes I was so distracted.
Do feel they could have done more with that space though - the Lister show was great but aside from that there seemed to be very little activity.

VNA 23: Faile, Eelus, Morning Breath, Prefab, Sieben,Vibes, by geoffw on Jul 25, 2013 14:48:12 GMT 1, Also to all the random people PM'ing me that I've never spoken to before (in person, on here whatever), I'll make this easy: I can't hold a copy for you.
I get that some people can't make it down to London or New York but that's what the lottery is for to try and make this as 'fair' as possible and give everyone a shot at one. And no, I can't fix that so win one either, sorry.

VNA 23: Faile, Eelus, Morning Breath, Prefab, Sieben,Vibes, by geoffw on Jul 25, 2013 14:43:50 GMT 1, So just to confirm the LE have been screenprinted by Faile in their studio and signed. As per usual each will be stamped and numbered by VNA.
Lottery is the usual way: LTD @ verynearlyalmost.com (remove the spaces) and you're entered for a chance to win one of the 50.

And massive thanks for all your continued support - we really, really appreciate it.
Look forward to seeing some of you at the launch in London.

VNA 23: Faile, Eelus, Morning Breath, Prefab, Sieben,Vibes, by geoffw on Jul 24, 2013 15:12:24 GMT 1, 75 at the NY launch, 75 at the UK launch and 50 via the lottery ... I think! ^^^ This.
You'll note the price has also increased - that's because through this LE we're raise funds for a project, Braddock Tiles that FAILE and Swoon support. It's a great idea if you've not seen much about it:

Keep keeping the dream alive guys! Thanks! We try our best. Of course now we've created a massive problem trying to follow this one. But it's a nice problem to have.

No guest list you'll need to queue up and we'll be handing out tickets to those in line to purchase - opens at 6 so you may need to get down a few hours in advance.

There will also be additional competitions and lotteries for LE in the coming month - we're finalising the details of exactly how those will work.

Should hopefully have all the details in a few days. It's a logistical nightmare shipping things back and forth, finding the right venues for the right dates etc.

The LEs aren't out or available yet. NY launch is in two weeks, London should be the week after that, August 8. We're just working through all the details at the moment.

VNA 23: Faile, Eelus, Morning Breath, Prefab, Sieben,Vibes, by geoffw on Jul 16, 2013 11:06:02 GMT 1, Yep it's that time, a new VNA magazine is back from the printers and ready to launch.
Those who follow the mag on Facebook/Instagram will have seen the rather unsubtle shot of one of the covers, hinting at the amazing cover artists we have for 23. It's pretty special.
I'll provide exact details of the launch dates shortly - that's right "dates" - for the first time we'll be doing a double launch in London and New York so you NYCers on here will get a chance to get a LE in the flesh.
As ever I'll provide also give all of the details - LE numbers, price, venues etc in this thread as there will be some changes from previous launches etc.
I'll also drop some shots of the various features - we've got another eclectic mix of people from the well known to the up-and-coming and hopefully some people you've not seen before.
Stay tuned

VNA Magazine Special, Insa, Eine, Dface Got them all now thx, by geoffw on Jul 3, 2013 15:07:08 GMT 1, Shill bidding? All respect to VNA, but i don't believe for one second this was a genuine sale. Let's get real, it wasn't long ago No.1 was changing hands for just over ยฃ100. These things seem to go in waves...out of sheer curiosity we do look at eBay from time to time: #1 was around ยฃ45/50 for ages on eBay then it shot up. Ditto the Invader - I've seen a couple on that went for ridiculous money.
That blue D though...blimey. I'd guess due to the recent show?

Dface New world Disorder show @ stolenspace 07/06/13, by geoffw on Jun 4, 2013 12:34:44 GMT 1, Agree with many others regarding this show...it's not doing anything for me - more misses than hits. I do think he's taken more of his style and ideas from previous shows and merged them/evolved them into something else but there are few too many pieces that just look like a Roy facsimile rather that D*Face in another style. And at ยฃ10-ยฃ20k price range IMO that's getting silly.
