Boris Artzybasheff came to American with only fourteen cents in his pocket, and no understanding of the English language. Despite those impediments, he became one of last century’s most unique advertising illustrators, equatable to being declared the American Dali. And Mechanix Illustrated was not above celebrating his unique talent.
