Things That Art

“Lochlann Jain's drawings are playful, wry, charming, and strangely, even a little profound.”

- Barry Blitt, Cartoonist, Illustrator, Frequent Cover Artist for The New Yorker

“Jain, with clever wit, has done the nearly impossible—taken apart the very category of classification. In this masterwork of graphic philosophy, metaphor elides with the literal as the basis of sorting and sense-making. With deft economy of means, Jain manages to take a topic that has puzzled many great minds and make its conundrums and complexities amusing for us all.” - Johanna Drucker, Artist, Designer and Professor at University of California, Los Angeles

“I have clearly been listing all the wrong things. Groceries? To dos? Worthless. Lochlann Jain elevates the list format into no less than a cabinet of curiosities with juxtapositions that amuse, disgust, inform, and break your heart, maybe all at the same time. You will never look at a hippo or a pair of lips in quite the same way again.”

- Lisa Brown, Illustrator, Writer, and Cartoonist.

“This witty yet sober game Jain plays between word and picture reveals a unique glimpse into the nature of thinking itself, illuminated further by the thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyable accompanying essays – which in turn, invite revisiting the drawings to see anew. Things that Art ultimately offers something even more: an essential reminder of our creative potential and a rich prompt for the reader to grab a pen and take off on expansive excursions of their own.”

- Nick Sousanis, Author of Unflattening, an Eisner-winning graphic novel.
