As I See, by Boris Artzybasheff back in print

I'm happy to discover that one of my favorite art books, As I See by the late Boris Artzybasheff, is back in print, once again. Boris Artzybasheff was a prolific magazine and advertising illustrator in the first half of the 20th Century. His specialty was anthropomorphic machines, such as sneering torpedoes and smug internal combustion engines.

I’ve posted a number of ads illustrated by Boris Artzybasheff as well:

Mine came in the mail the other day having pre-ordered the last time boingboing discussed the book. The illustrations are beautiful.

I was actually looking at this in my saved cart on Amazon again today… What is on the inside of the book? Is it just prints or are there reproductions of ads and some sort of history?

I love his images, especially the frustrated central computer (now the background on my palm pilot)

Artzybasheff’s cover illustration above is (unintentionally I suppose) funny. Here in the Arab world, that’s how you give someone the finger, the inverse of the Western gesture: palm forward with the middle finger lowered and pointed toward the gesture’s recipient.

This must have been the inspiration for Oobi
