We've covered something like this on the site before, but now an artist who goes by the Instagram handle iamsteelberg has created the best fake VHS covers for modern movies I've seen so far. Every one of these is absolutely perfect, from the way the design incorporates a screenshot or poster art into a natural-looking cover down to the scuffed and beat-up quality of the boxes. I can totally picture the sensation of what it would be like to be a kid walking through an old Blockbuster aisle, seeing these box covers, and having them capture my imagination. Great work!

Same here, Chewy.

I looked at them & thought... "These are the kinds of covers I come to cover sites to REPLACE. Why would I seek out anything that looks like this?"

They look pretty cool but I have to agree that it does seem a bit strange.

All about the art. To a collector, these would come in handy. :)
