Affiliate Link – VHS Video Cover Art: 1980s to Early 1990s
I am going to own this book!!! VHS Video Cover Art: 1980s to Early 1990s* is set for release later this month, and inside the 264-page book are over 240 gloriously cheesy paintings from the eighties. Break those airbrushes out of storage, gang, because eighties VHS art is back! This is going to be fun.
Video cover art is a unique and largely lost artform representing a period of unabashed creativity during the video rental boom of the 1980s to early 1990s. The art explodes with a succulent, indulgent blend of design, illustration, typography, and hilarious copywriting. Written and curated by Tom The Dude Designs Hodge, poster artist extraordinaire and VHS obsessive, with a foreword by Mondo s Justin Ishmael, this collection contains over 240 full-scale, complete video sleeves in the genres of action, comedy, horror, kids, sci-fi, and thriller films.
