In a recent Jim Woodring interview, the artist names two art books that changed his life. One, unsurprisingly, was on Surrealism. The other was a book called As I See by Boris Artzybasheff. Before you could even say “Google”, I found a page on him. Not only did he do 200+ covers for Time Magazine in the ’50s, but his style is similar to Basil Wolverton and others. In fact, his range is very wide, from cartoony to realistic, from oils to woodcuts.
Other examples are here and below:
