Twitter's 'fail whale' artist follows up with 'IPO hippo' Nov 7th 2013, 18:15, by Mark Hachman If a hippo gobbling dollar signs isn't the iconic image of the Twitter IPO, it should be. YiYing Lu, whose "Lifting a Dreamer" later became the iconic Twitter "fail whale" image, has crafted a new piece of art to commemorate Twitter's initial public offering.
