Boris Artzybasheff another sneaky fucking russian




This guy was born in the 1890's, lived in russia and escaped to the united states. He was an artist known for his surreal and imaginative depictions of modern technology.

His art has appeared on the covers of Time, life and Fortune.
This guy could have used some photoshop to really let his imagination fly.

Take a look at the hydraulic press and the finger face.

"Plentiful ad work for Xerox, Shell Oil, Pan Am, Casco Power Tools, Alcoa Steamship lines, Parke Davis, Avco Manufacturing, Scotch Tape, Wickwire Spencer Steele, Vultee Aircraft, World Airways, and Parker Pens. Mechanics Illustrated profiled him with a cover story in 1954, "When Machines Come to Life."
