Drawn

The long-out-of-print book of drawings by Russian surrealist Boris Artzybasheff, As I See, has finally made it back it to print thanks to Titan Books, and it’s one of the coolest books that’s made it into my collection this year. As I See is a real visual treat of surrealism–a look at human progress and technology that lies somewhere between where Jim Henson and Salvador Dali meet, or perhaps an unlikely collaboration between Dr. Seuss and H.R. Giger. It’s the perfect blend of cartoon silliness and unsettling social commentary.
