Quotes

"

I think of my 3D scenes as theater stages, where I can quickly rearrange stuff, sample in actors from various image sources, set the lighting, and build a world of my own. It’s like 3D still lives, without the constraints of the physical world.

Trivia

• In 2026, Minecraft:Jack Black commissioned Zetterstrand to create a portrait of him as Steve from Template:AMCM in the style of a Minecraft painting.<ref>Template:Cite Instagram</ref>
