JR in Africa

This in any way isn’t a new project by JR. However I though it would be nice to remind to the world what a humble person he is.

JR owns the biggest art gallery in the world. He exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not the museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.

New promo of VNA issue 12

I’m feel very happy and satisfied about this one. It took some time to put together this material. Amsterdam, Poland north to south trip, meeting lots of new people, working in extremely hot conditions and George’s finger injury. The latest issue of the magazine is packed with some quality content. We feature Roa, Dave Kinsey, Mr Jago, Kevin Cyr, The Yok M-City and more. If you are interested in getting a copy go to VNA online shop.

VNA Issue 10 with D*Face

This is kinda late now but I thought I’d share it anyway. I created this short video in about 24 hours to promote limited edition issues of Very Nearly Almost magazine with screen printed covers by D*Face. The campaign was very successful and the limited edition copies sold out within 20 minutes.
