"Setch's illustrations present a unique and slightly manic perspective on the world. Simultaneously adorable and bold, he manages to combine an infectious kind of fun with simple, almost utilitarian lines and textures. His subjects range from subtly emotive scenes to commanding arrangements of bizarre imagery that are at times reminiscent of socialist and communist propaganda posters. Always, he draws from a pool of inventive ideas that come together in an enveloping and slightly busy way.
Throughout, he maintains his playfulness, imbuing every image with a stylized cutesyness, while avoiding insincerity or cliché. The viewer again and again revises their initial assessment as the imagery unfolds and the true detail of his work unfolds, revealing its inventiveness as layers are peeled away." |

"I may not know much about art, but I know what I like: robots, fetuses, sly glances and weird swirly playgrounds. Setch is all these things and more. His illustrations beg to be stared at; if I could live in them, I would." |

"Setch's illustrations offer a bit of fun, a bit of fantasy, and a bit of everyday life. He is ridiculously talented....why hasn't some disgustingly large corporation offered him a billion dollars for his services?!" |

"Setch can make anything look cute. Even bunny fighter pilots! He turns whimsical dreamy imagery into tangible beauty. He's totally invited to my next slumber party." |

"If the inside of Setch's mind looks like his art, I wish he'd consider renting portions of it out, because it's pretty in there." |
