Tao Lin IKEA

IN THE FUTURE, 93.7 % of Ikea's graphic design will be based upon Tao Lin's drawings of animals, and particularly his hamsters.

However, because this work will have passed into public domain, the Swedish giant will not credit his name, nor pay any money to his estate.

Like "George Bush" or "Britney Spears," he will be a name that haunts the tip of the tongue like a salt ghost.

They will refer to the maker of these drawings as "21Anyc" for 21st century anonymous creator based in New York City.

The brochures will say "It is rumored that 21Anyc spent his days listening to rain, or listening for rain. He seemed to speak for the animals before they acquired their Vocoders and inalienable animal rights. We hope you enjoy our inspired reinterpretations of these early 21st century classics. Available in polypropylene or synthesized gold."

Children will run to coddle the Vegan Muffin and beg in acquisitiveness.

Acquisitiveness will change forms slightly.

But it will never die.
