"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 Pross has, through his tedious, tenacious work, finally and uncompromisingly put caricature art to the level (at least in my opinion) up on the high mantle where it mostly has always deserved to be. His technique, his color, his execution--it is all superb, professional, engaging. I know of no better proponent of caricature on the planet--find me one, please!On the functional plane, your friends will simply love it when you show it to them; it is a real keeper.It is a comprehensive work, one that finally includes not just one category (rock stars, celebs, writers, and such), but all the greats together, executed prolifically. And it is FUNNY! Where can you get great artistic technique, informed commentary, and breadth and depth all at once? Find me a better one."
