I first encountered the art of Leonard McGurr, better known to fans as
Futura and formerly as Futura 2000, when he produced artwork for Mo' Wax releases and — with his "Nosferatu" character, sometimes called "Pointman" — defined the aesthetic of UNKLE. While a pioneer of abstract street art that had been active since the '70s, it was that Mo' Wax work that breathed new life into his career. Celebrating their 30th issue,
Very Nearly Almost (VNA) have an interview with cover artist Futura and, per usual, are planning a limited edition release of the magazine with something special… The above box, which clearly is emblazoned with Futura × VNA, is surely a teaser for this forthcoming release, but what will be in the box? Those on the Very Nearly Almost mailing list will probably be learning in the quite near future…
