Street artist Paul Insect is the cover artist for the 24th issue of Very Nearly Almost magazine, something to really look forward. The launch will be marked by a party at DreambagJaguarShoes on Kingsland Rd.
Apart from hopefully picking up one of the special Paul Insect signed artwork covers (£40), there are all the other cracking features on artists including
Matt Small
Tim Biskup
Joram Roukes
Jaybo Monk
Jon Burgerman
Medhi
Oliver Jeffers
Eleven
Jacob Ovgren
Ojey
Graffuturism
I have great memories of several long and intensely cold February nights spent on a Hackney Rooftop a couple of years ago with Paul Insect and his friend Sweet Toof making this little film:

For a little insightabout why a Pual Insect special edition cover is so exciting, check out this collection of online photos which is a fraction of the beautiful Paul Insect art I have photographed down the years HERE.
VNA will have its customary great selection of photos including as usual hopefully a smattering from myself as well.
THe event page to attend the launch is HERE and pre-orders for the magazine can be made HERE
There have also been reports that the VNA guys will be doing a charity sale of some of Paul Insect’s artwork, all hand finished test prints or APs to benefit the charity Shelter From The Storm.
