We talk to Thomas Hodge - Freelance Digital Illustrator, Designer & Author of the book 'VHS Cover Art'. Thomas (aka The Dude Designs) is at the forefront of the resurgence of the ‘old-school’ poster art aesthetic behind such films as 'Hobo with a Shotgun', 'They Live', 'Savage Streets' & 'The Heat'. We chat about his early fascination and love for local video shops in the 1980s and how it would put him on a path to bring back memories for many VHS fans in the modern day.
