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

Barry Blitt is an award-winning cartoonist and New Yorker cover artist.

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, Breslauer Professor at UCLA, is a historian of graphic design and an internationally renowned book artist.  

Løchlann 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.
