Interview with Marina Totino by Ted Gilbert   Video store nostalgia has been hitting a high note in the last few years. The Last Blockbuster arguably led the way by reminding Americans that video stores still exist, and rekindling our collective cultural love affair with them.   Well, how about a video store that fits on your mantle, or even better:  a VHSpecial little place on your video shelf? We've previously praised the radical rewind-inclined miniature work of GLAZY UK, and Melissa Kay’s utterly amazing MK Video, but recently the work of Marina Totino caught our Videovore eye, and we...

The incredible world of custom miniatures and magnetic magic are seemingly starting to mate, Tapeheads. UK-based artist Andrew Glazebrook is currently fashioning a miniature video store complete with slab-lined shelves, essential home video posters and some seriously authentic video store vibes. He’s even got coffee ring stains on the wooden check-out counter. The attention to detail is beyond rich, and Lunchmeat was VHStoked to offer up a work-in-progress sneak peek on his mini-video store project a little while back via our Instagram feed.

The radical world of custom VHS casings is expanding at an eye-popping rate. Just take a peek at the #spoolswap hashtag on Instagram, and you’ll be able to soak in a spectrum of custom color-coordinated and blood-spattered tapes from Videovores of all inclinations and tastes.

His 2014 haunted house novel, Horrorstor, was designed to look like an IKEA catalog in order to complement its setting: a haunted big box furniture store (called ORSK, ‘cuz, ya know, trademarks and stuff).     The totally killer rewind-inclined cover art for MY BEST FRIEND'S EXORCISM, coming soon to paperback from Quirk Books!     Hendrix’s latest novel, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, his foray...
