Pulp Art Extravaganza

F. Newton Burcham

Constantin Alajalov is unique in illustration history. He was the only artist to ever paint covers for both "The New Yorker" and "The Saturday Evening Post" as the rival publications had a longstanding agreement not to share cover artists. Alajalov was born into a well to do family in Russia. He was 17 when the Russian Revolution broke out and he was forced to create propaganda poster art before his escape in 1921 to Istanbul, Turkey. From rags to riches, he arrived penniless and survived by sketching portraits in bars, painting sidewalk advertisements and murals in nightclubs. He emigrated to the United States by 1923 and within three years worked his way up to The New Yorker.

I have no idea where this is from. It's been on my computer for over a decade so I know it's not AI. If you know the artist, let me know.

I want to be an international boudoir expert.

Also I don't remember WTF those weird orange things are supposed to be. Mealworms with legs? Mutant carrots? This isn't zoologically accurate.
