NEW! VHS Cover Books

I've been meaning to make some of these for over a year now, and finally have got around to doing it for some upcoming shows.  Check out our new VHS Cover Books!



Many people are often asking me for smaller sized books, and this is a great size!  Plus, who doesn't love movies?  While VHS players might be harder to come by these days, why not enjoy a reminder of their awesome invention and life!


Call me crazy, but I just love taking discarded or forgotten things into something new!  I love the memories they hold for us all, the inventions they represent, and the history they make alive.  I personally still own a VHS player, and always hope to.  But the days of dashing to the store to buy the latest movie on VHS cassettes are gone.  Sadly they often sit crowding wall upon wall in variety shops and other places piling up at a surprising rate since the movie rental industry has completely changed.  I thought it'd be fun to make some books out of them and recall to remembrance another great love we all have--Movies!!


So if you prefer to stream your movies on the internet now, or buy them & download them onto your computers don't forget the distance we've come!  I was reminded of this even more going through my grandpa's record album collection when I came across an old original reel to reel movie of Disney's Fantasia from 1957! WOW!! Time always changes things.  And to think that VHS was such a huge thing is often now hilarious to people or they don't even know what it was.  Sad!! So I thought it was about time I got around to making some cool books out of some covers.


These are perfect for a notepad by the phone---oh wait---hold up--- does anyone actually do THAT anymore either? Thats kind of sad too!  haha.  How about a grocery list booklet? "Things to Google" book? That'd be hilarious to look back on, wouldn't it?  Of course they would also make great journals or sketchbooks also, I just like to dream up new ideas.  Well... regardless of what use you find for them, I hope they inspire fond memories and a love for the things of the past. 

We must not ever forget where we have come from!  Be it vinyl, or movies, or technology, or just the experiences we have personally lived through... it is always good to remember and reflect upon those things!

What are some of your favorite movies?
