But today we have created this one-off opportunity for you to get your hands on them again.</p> <p>We’ve gathered together special editions from VNA issue 10, through to our most recent issue 18; which feature covers from D*FACE, INSA, ROA, EINE, SICKBOY, SHEPARD FAIREY, INVADER, THE LONDON POLICE & CONOR HARRINGTON. Oh and did we mention that they are all signed with the exception of D*Face & Roa? </p> <p>There is even a super rare signed Shepard Fairey copy, which only a tiny handful of people who were given printers proofs own!</p> <p>These nine screen-printed copies will be sent out at random to the next 90 people making purchases through our website. So that’s a 1 in 10 chance of receiving one in the post with your order! Madness we know. Please note this only applies to orders of £5 or over before p+p charges have been added. Good luck – once they’re gone, they’re gone, so make sure you act fast to be considered amongst that 90.</p> <p><a href="http://verynearlyalmost.com/blog/2012/05/16/win-screen-printed-signed-back-issues-of-vna/limited_comp-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-8266"></a></p> <p>VNA 15 special edition, signed by Shepard Fairey.</p> <p><a href="http://verynearlyalmost.com/blog/2012/05/16/win-screen-printed-signed-back-issues-of-vna/limited_comp2/" rel="attachment wp-att-8267"></a></p> </article> <article> <h1>An interesting project is on its way…</h1> <p>Wed, 16 May 2012 10:43:54 +0000</p> <p>Heres a little teaser for a project we are working on…</p> <p><a href="http://verynearlyalmost.com/blog/2012/05/16/an-interesting-project-is-on-its-way/malarky_globe_img_8574/" rel="attachment wp-att-8260"></a></p> <p>More soon…</p> <p> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Everything begins with an E…</h1> <p>Tue, 15 May 2012 16:44:45 +0000</p> <p>Lovely promo video for <a href="http://ermsy.com/" target="_blank">Erms</a> new solo show coming up in June at <a href="http://www.art-el.co.uk/" target="_blank">Art-el Gallery</a> in Bristol…</p> <p></p> <p>Love it.</p> <p>Deets of the show…</p> <blockquote> <div>EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH AN E</div> </blockquote> <blockquote> <div> Art-el Gallery is delighted to announce ‘Everything Begins with an E’, a new body of work from the Graffiti writer and illustrator Erms.</div> </blockquote> <blockquote> <div> <div> UK born but now based in Paris, he continues to be active in the Parisian graffiti scene.</div> </div> </blockquote> <blockquote> <div> <div> Taking diverse influence from classical New York and European graffiti, renaissance art through to pop art, traditional graphic design and illustration, the 80s Hip Hop movement and beyond.
