First it was Amsterdam, then Sydney and Melbourne and now the latest city to be swamped with VNA stickers looks to be Rome.

Subscriber Tee – Mysterious Al
Most of you know the deal by now, if you buy a 4 issue subscription to VNA you will receive 1 free artist designed t-shirt. Last time was Buff Monster and this time round our lucky subscribers found this awesome tee designed by Mysterious Al on their doorsteps. Produced in both black and white, it even has a sneaky little VNA in the beard.
Another top artist is in the midst of designing our next one, and if you ordered a subscription package from 24th November onwards you can expect good things coming your way with issue 18 in March. If you are still keen to bag yourself a subscription then remember that anybody placing orders after the 22nd February will not receive their free tee until issue 19.
“We Are Void” an exhibition of works by Rul3rs and Maarten Alexander…
Im really liking the collaborative art works of Street artist Rul3rs and photographer Maarten Alexander. The tattoo references, symbols and black and white imagery of the female form all work well together and is one of the few artist/photographer collabs that really works aesthetically.
They have a new show opening this week in Amsterdam and here are some exclusive images from the show…
If you are in Amsterdam this weekend, have a Heineken for me and go check out this art show.

Your local retailer could hold the key to your happiness..
When we print our limited editions, 50 of these actually go into distribution. We never know which country, city or shop they are going to end up in but, like the famous golden tickets, they are out there waiting to be found.
We had an email last week from a very happy guy in Scotland who had strolled into his local retailer; Fat Buddha, only to find a limited edition VNA 17 on the shelves for the measly sum of £5! There was also someone who found an issue 16 signed by Invader in their local retailer, and who knows how many others have been found that we haven’t heard about. If you’ve found one, let us know, we’d love to hear about it!
So, they are out there, and you may be lucky enough to find one.

Reka, Ghostpatrol & TwoOne get busy
Melbourne street artists Reka, Ghostpatrol & TwoOne joined forces to paint a massive two-storey wall around the phrase ‘idle hands are the devils playthings’.
All the artists decided represent this theme by portraying their main vice. TwoOne chose to paint a hand holding a whiskey bottle, Reka, a hand holding a spray can and Ghostpatrol playing an old school gameboy!
Read on to see some more images of how it went down. Read More
