Boris Artzybasheff

The art of Boris Artybasheff certainly qualifies as weird. You can sample it in a recent reprint of one of his classic books, seen to the right.

Or, you can admire some of his covers for Time magazine.

Is the backhoe in the first picture doing a pelvic thrust with an anthropomorphic phallus? Also, I like how you put the picture about India next to the do-it-yourself man (was that on purpose Paul?)

"But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane!"
