"Etienne’s view of the homomasculine ideal is of an iconic Olympus populated with men as leather gods as imagined in a mix of Brando’s The Wild One (1953), Steve Reeves’ Hercules (1959), Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising (1964). His talent for dramatic movement and story arcs, developed on stage in his choreography, informed his cartoon-strip narratives."  --Jack Fritscher, PhD, "Star Trick: Artist Dom Orejudos Is Etienne," Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer, Palm Drive Publishing
