Download or read book VHS Video Cover Art written by Thomas Hodge and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. It's a world of mustached, muscled men, buxom beauties, big explosions, phallic guns, and nightmare-inducing monsters. From the sublime to the ridiculous, some are incredible works of art, some are insane, and some capture the tone of the films better than the films themselves. All are amazing and inspiring works of art that captivate the imagination. It's like stepping back in time into your local video store!

Download or read book Woman s Day Dough Crafts written by Lorraine Bodger and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorraine uses five substantially different kinds of dough to work her 60 various designs. The familiar flour/salt dough is coaxed into a wide array of decorative pieces: bowls and baskets, candleholders, centerpieces and wall plaques - including a Pennsylvania Dutch-style plaque with tulips and hearts in bright primary colors. A bread/glue dough, which requires no baking and dries to a fine finish, is fashioned into a series of wonderful miniatures like the doll-sized vegetables adorning a kitchen memo board. Lorraine uses a sugar paste concoction in ways no one has dreamed of before. Her set of fragile, lacy ornaments is exactly suited to the delicate sugar paste dough, as is a lovely vase in frosty tints of pink, blue, lavendar and green. A standard cookie-dough recipe and cookie-cutter shapes lend themselves to some fabulous decorated holiday cookies, while a spicy gingerbread dough becomes a dream of a gingerbread house, its roof studded with hearts and windows outlined with candy canes.

Download or read book Modern Vintage Homes Leisure Lives written by Samantha Holland and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the meanings and practices of vintage lives. It focuses on the non-mainstream subculture of vintage clothes and lifestyle, specifically that of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, and asks how those engaged in the culture place themselves within the gendered and classed contexts of these eras. As a result, it also identifies the tensions involved in these identities connected to a past that offered little gain for women and narrow gender roles for both women and men. Modern Vintage Homes & Leisure Lives is based on original empirical international data about a group of people who wear vintage clothing all of the time and whose homes are styled entirely, or almost entirely, vintage. It aims to understand the meanings of vintage for them through their daily practices and accrued knowledge. Through interviews and direct observations of vintage events it also explores questions about the acquisition, display and curation of vintage clothes, homes and objects, about glamour and wardrobes, about the history of second-hand markets, and emotional durability and ideas about ghosts, hauntings and spectral remains. It will be of particular interest to students and academics of gender and women’s studies, fashion and design, fashion history, cultural studies, the body and embodiment.
