VNA Magazine

[Schrödinger's Chat]

Hi Folks, I had a weird eBay moment and consequently now have a copy of this box set minus the bag & ring i.e. sold to me without the ring, I don't have any need for it and I'm actually trying to clear out before going travelling and I genuinely don't know how much it cost on the night but is usually around £40. I paid £25 on eBay and would sell for the same (posted) if anyone is interested PM me. For transparency item no. 201425766696

Anyone want to buy my copy of VNA issue 29?

Regular cover, in good condition.  £5.  

If so PM me, and payment via Paypal.  I can post overseas, but it will cost more.

Thanks

Hi guys, I know it sounds weird but anyone know what's the exact size of the VNA mag? I have some in my house but I'm currently at work and need this info.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Agreed that these are awesome. This is exactly what I'm here trying to figure out how to do... Interested in what they'd look like framed without the extra artwork. Maybe just more forum searching to do.

smishdown seems to have been AWOL a while now, hope everything is ok fella

I think he is busy being a new father. That takes up a lot of time.

Here's one I did a few years back

[bza]

Tigerblood, nice! Can I ask what kind of frame or how it's mounted? I've never framed anything myself, but I'd like to try. I have a few of the silkscreened VNAs that would look nice in frames. Eine, Aryz, London Police & Invader.

On a related note, I'm trying to figure out how to frame a skate deck as well.

[bza]

Wasn't around for the original release, but this is up in their shop as of right now. Just snagged one.

[bza]

I've never tried framing something before and was pretty clueless, but after some research I found a technique that made sense. It probably should have been obvious. So, for anyone else trying to figure this out...

I used an 14x11" frame and cut the mat to 2 1/4" each side with a Logan 4000. This left about 1/16" overlapping the magazine. I made some spacers out of extra mat board to support the magazine behind the cut mat. 5 layers of 4ply mat did it.  Stuck those in place with double-sided tape. It's in there really tight. Came out pretty well, though not as fancy with the graphics like smishdown.

Nice job, thanks for the great tip.

Look great! I was thinking of doing the same with couple of specials..ROA etc... I looked at holding mag with piece of cut foam board instead of layered mat - same result though! I personally prefer your simpler framing!

This looks great and a very affordable price too, thanks for posting the images!

[soupy]

Futura – UNSIGNED Limited Edition VNA 30
£40.00
UNSIGNED Limited Edition Futura screen-printed VNA Issue 30 Box Set

VNA 30 is here. This is a landmark issue with an extra special artist for the cover – a true godfather of graffiti, Futura, formerly known as Futura2000. In the interview, he talks candidly about the stratospheric highs and crushing lows of his dramatic life and career to date.

As always, VNA have produced a Limited Edition run of screen-printed magazines, lovingly prepared by our friends at White Duck Screen Print and this issue is no exception. Each boxset features Futura’s artwork screen-printed on the box and magazine cover and inside you’ll find included a set of four die-cut stickers and and an exclusive wooden model of Futura tag on Brooklyn Bridge.

[soupy]

was thinking about painting the tag as well.  could look pretty cool.

[Dibbs 45]

The London street art photos are cool as well?

[robertjones]

Just got my VNA collection out 1 - 27 to look at and was pleased to see the magazine evolve over the years from a few page free magazine to what it is today and some the people they have had feature on the front.

Missing a few now though due to the fact of not being located in London.

[rjf76]

Nice collection and some lovely collectors editions...

[Daniel Silk]

For those of you who might have VNA's missing from your collections, they still have a pretty good selection still available on their website - verynearlyalmost.com/shop/
