just saying that instaed of closing the raffle today at midnight I'm probably going to let it go for another week or so.
I've been in touch with the guys at VNA and asked them to post about the raffle on their blog/facebook/twitter so that more fans could have a chance to win the mags, and more money could go to charity. only 42 tickets sold so far... I hope everyone undestand.
thanks

[ilmambo]

unfortunately looks like VNA can't promote this on their social networks for legal reason... oh well.
I'm gonna extend the dead line till the end of the week, please spread the word, only 42 tickets sold so far and I was really hoping to give a good amount to charity! I guess not.
thanks anyway to whoever supported this so far.

raffle will close at midnight UK time on sunday 5th. I'll pick up four winner on monday.
since there will be four winners it'll be impossible to pick just one charity, so I'll do it myself and the mone ywill go to Emergency. www.emergency.it/who-we-are.html

Magazine #19 – Anthony Lister Edition



London’s finest Very Nearly Almost (VNA) magazine faces its second big birthday, but before the 20th issue will be published in the next weeks, I just received VNA Magazine #19 or what I am calling it, the Anthony Lister edition…

For me, VNA #19 is definitely one of their best issues. Not just because that they got (Mr. Crazy) Anthony Lister in a royally pose on their cover, but also interviewed several of my favorite urban artist: Low Bros, How&Nosm and Best Ever!

Elsewhere in the magazine we could go no further with VNA without featuring a very fine threesome of duos. Best Ever Crew have been producing amazingly dark photorealism for a long time and we are very proud of this British team. How&Nosm are twins from Germany with a style like no other, twisted scenes and beautiful colour schemes have made this team hot property in the art world and they have a story to tell. Lowbros are based in Germany and create what can only be described as insanely good murals of animals with attitude. (VNA #19)

Furthermore, there are illustrator Ken Taylor and French, muralists Remed and ECB, as well as Australian fine artist Twoone getting featured in the mag. That’s reason enough to click and grab your own issue now: verynearlyalmost.com!

We recently received a delivery from Australia – and inside were a bunch of VNA 19 cover artist, Anthony Lister’s new books ‘Tales of white trash prophecy’. We’ve got five signed copies of these to give away to you guys! These five books will be sent out at random in the next 50 orders over £5 (including p&p) we receive through our online shop. So that’s a 1 in 10 chance of receiving one of these beauties through the post, oh and they also come with a limited edition Lister sticker.

very cool incentive
