THE BUZZ & BLURBS
“Leavitt succeeds in art’s most important function — to not only help us recognize and articulate our values, but participate in a dialog that validates them as well. At its best, art connects our best selves with each other, and he has done that… I’m grateful to artists who address the subject of ‘What is it about fighting and glorifying fighting and power, anyway?’ in a way that gets our minds thinking and lips moving.” -Polymer Clay Daily, May 2008
“…the tributes to Leavitt’s heroes will do nothing more than put a big dopy grin on your face. And sometimes that’s all you need from art.” -Seattle Magazine, Dec. 2006
“The (Art Army) project is clearly aligned against the forces of imperialism and cultural suckiness, but Leavitt makes his points with a light touch, being too high-spirited and incorrigibly silly to get bogged down in another dreary leftist critique.” -David Stoesz, Seattle Weekly, Apr. 2003
“…Leavitt is currently causing quite a stir in the US with his Art Army… these are ART toys with a capital ‘A’.” -PIMP Magazine (UK), Nov. 2006
“…the ever-ambitious Mike Leavitt has bodly gone where few artists have gone before, into the funky realm of cake toppers.” -Regina Hackett, June 2007
“…when it comes to art icons, Michael Leavitt has a deep set of beliefs about who deserves a reserved parking space in the annals of history.” -JUXTAPOZ Magazine, Mar. 2007
“This is one of the better ideas surrounding art and pop culture these days.” -TABLET, Nov. 2002
