"Troy is a gifted artist with amazing vision and detail. The thoroughness in his works shines amazingly through. Truly in awe of his work and expect even more awesome things in the future"
Questlove - musician, entertainer, and Princephile

"It's fun to watch an artist push himself. Troy is not only pushing but he's reminding us how much fun Prince has been to look at for the span of his career. Troy's skill and drive on this project is amazing."
Steven Parke - artist, photographer, and former official Prince artist

"I was mesmerized by the universe Troy has created with the Little Prince series. I felt as if I was in a dream where only one man's mind could create such a surreal yet incredible tribute to my favorite artist, Prince."
Mathieu Bitton - artist, filmmaker, and Renaissance man

"Le Petit Prince is so amazing. It takes the energy of Prince and makes it mini but the excitement is anything but. This little guy takes me back to the thrill of loving Prince back in the early 80s."
Touré - writer, journalist, pop culture expert and commentator
