"Critics have responded to my art as though I was sui generis, a self-created eccentric without discernable origins. Very much the opposite is the truth. The origin of my art is the culture at large. I painted and drew as if I were an alien intelligence contemplating my own human species from a distant realm with a bemused objectivity, as though I was encountering them for the first time like David Bowie's Ziggy. What I saw was a strange land filled with archetypes---caricatures."
-Victor Pross

"Victor's caricatures, aside from being clever in their own right, also convey an intelligence and knowledge of his subjects that is sometimes absent in similar sketches."
- George H. Smith, author of 'Atheism: The case against God.'
