jereme said...: Tao,

I like your art for a reason but cannot specifically realize why.

I would buy the hamster art but you have 0 seller history. I do not trust sellers without at least 1000 sells and 99% positive feedback.

That is only partly why I would not buy it. I just gambled my electricity money at the casino and soon will not have proper man made lighting to admire it genuinely.

I really like your art. I hope your creations find a kind spectator that can provide electricity and sundry luxuries that it deserves.; 5:28 AM
Annandale Dream Gazette said...: looks like tao lin's interns have been at ebay starting bidding wars already.; 11:38 AM
appleoftheearth said...: art is sassy.; 2:38 PM
Tao Lin said...: i don't have interns starting bidding wars, don't spread rumors

i have another account with 621 positive feedback, 99.4%, that i can show you jereme

i am trustworthy

jereme, trust me; 6:18 PM
Tao Lin said...: you can trust me jereme, didn't i send you a free book?

you owe me jereme; 7:23 PM
cory said...: send me a free book, all of you, now or in the next few moments.; 7:40 PM
virginia woolf said...: i only have $2.34 in my paypal account.; 7:44 PM
Tao Lin said...: i accept cash; 8:06 PM

virginia woolf said...: i have no cash. i am a poor canadian. i am instantly outbidded anyway. probably because i only have $2.34 in my paypal account. do you have secret ostriches bidding. i know your art is not worth $2.34. would you like $2.34 anyway.

(i made a mistake in my last post. i have created unnecessary use of energy for pixels; somewhere a tree has choked.); 8:40 PM
Tao Lin said...: you might be able to get something for $2.34

try the bathing hamster or skateboarding beast; 8:44 PM
vomitingghosts said...: Tao, in the mail today I got your drawings. They are beautiful. Thank you very much. I will frame them all in one big frame, I think, but until then I will lean them against things so when I walk around my small apartment I will look at them and smile inside even if my face doesn't smile. I will also mail the postcards to people. I especially like the squid and the pink forest and the tall muffins. So thanks again. You made my already good day better. Jereme, you can trust Tao.; 9:42 PM
Annandale Dream Gazette said...: I got my art today too tao, and I love them. Thanks. I hope you can keep making money doing things you like. You're very talented and shitty jobs can tire people out too much sometimes. Good luck with everything.; 10:24 PM
Patrick @ LitVision said...: Why did you create a new account to sell this? That's very sketchy ebaying. If you post your real ebay name on here it will be okay. You sell coins and tea and broken ipods for "parts," all kinds of weird shit on ebay, do you?; 12:09 AM
jereme said...: Tao,

I do trust you. The 0 seller feedback was my attempt at humor to mask the real reason I cannot buy it. I actually did lose my electricity money at the casino trying to make enough money to pay rent and not get evicted. I know it's sad. I should keep my mouth shut I guess.

I really like the hamster drawing. It will find a home without my bid. I will buy it later if it does not sell. Hold on to it.

Thank you again for the book and stickers.; 3:32 AM
jereme said...: Tao,

I hope I did not offend you by questioning your trustworthiness. You have never double posted before to one of my comments.

It's a shame Miranda July does not know about the auction.; 3:36 AM
Tao Lin said...: don't worry jereme, i know you were joking

i think it was a good calm joking, i liked it

you did not offend me and i still have good feelings toward you, we are okay

i'm sorry all of us have no money for some reason

if two rich famous people get in a bidding war and i make $25,000 i will distribute some money to the poor people who comment on this blog; 3:40 AM
Tao Lin said...: you're welcome matthew

you're welcome lynn

i am relieved i didn't just send, in your view, bad things not worth $50 at all

patrick,

i don't want people to know i sell pieces of toast with jesus' visage on them

now they know but i already used the account to list the art; 3:42 AM
tomkendall said...: today i bought the book of disquiet because i heard about it in your book. You are a very effective writer.; 1:50 PM
Tao Lin said...: good job tom

also read chilly scenes of winter by ann beattie; 7:33 PM
Tao Lin said...: serious literature forever; 7:33 PM
Conn O'Brien said...: the hamster picture seems to be set in medieval times because of the candle and the girl hamster's braided hair. i like it because the expressions are the reverse of the mona lisa - the mona lisa had a tiny smile but the girl hamster has a tiny frown. however, i do not think the mona lisa is a masterpiece.; 10:32 PM
Dobbs said...: 'oral therapy'; 11:31 PM
Tao Lin said...: yes...yes...people are bidding more...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$; 2:09 AM
jereme said...: I noticed the hamster picture that I like went from least amount of money bid to the most amount of money bid. I must not be the only one who likes it.

I bet an anonymous buyer is bidding on behalf of the July estate. She wants it. That bitch whore. It should be mine.; 6:50 AM
Bryan said...: i bought something from tao lin on ebay for 99 cents plus 5 dollars shipping. he sent it to me. it was the first thing and only thing i've ever bought in an ebay auction.; 10:41 PM
Eva said...: Hello?
