"one-year anniversary" re hihihihihihihihihiiihihihihihihihhi.com

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of my art site featuring depressed 'critters' w/ undiagnosed social anxiety disorder the following offer is [the offer has ended, prints can be purchased at normal prices in the Tao Lin Store].

"Tao Lin's wonderful museum of emotionally afflicted, colorful, and at times morbidly obese animals 'seems sweet," said Artforum in an article that also said, "Perfect for Thanksgiving, Columbus Day, and, surprisingly, Guy Fawkes Day."

"Near-perfect stocking stuffers," said Consumer Reports and Cat Fancy.

"The Asian Andy Warhol or quite possibly the next/American Takashi Murakami," said L Magazine in a 2008 retrospective of Tao Lin's literary oeuvre that digressed, or "rambled," some say, into witty but ultimately inaccurate and "facile," even, according to the comments section of that article, blurbs about Tao Lin's visual art.
