Neil Wedman’s “Flying Saucer Types” from VR’s 1st original Centrefold spread.
VR contributor Neil Wedman currently has a show on at the Charles H. Scott Gallery on Granville Island. Titled: “Selected Monochromatic Paintings and Works on Paper”, the show runs ’til February 24th. It features a selection of large paintings of underwater volcanoes, flying saucers and newspaper pages rendered in his uniquely muted and timeless style. And it wouldn’t hurt to remind the world that the Centrefold image above is still available from a limited edition print run of 20 signed and numbered archival prints (at 16″ x 20″) for a very affordable $250 direct from VR. E-mail mark@vancouverreview.com for details.

Here’s a nice little mention and repro from Sara Ross who not only featured in the Velo-City issue as a photo subject but had this piece in the VR’s Centrefold.

In honour of Charlotte Gill’s recent nomination for the Charles Taylor prize for literary non-fiction and in anticipation of her upcoming reading at Project Space on the 28th, I thought I’d post these two versions of the cover for the issue that first featured Eating Dirt. For whatever reason, we decided against them but they do have their merits. I think the first one was nixed because I felt the pose seemed forced and the seedling too strategically placed in the glove. And if I recall correctly, the second didn’t seem to have enough overall front and centre power. In any case, we hope you enjoy them. I’ll post some more alternate covers in the coming months.
