Juxtapoz Magazine on FB had an article on a Seattle based sculptor tonight. Mike Leavitt.
I know it's kindof a stretch but whatever.
I do follow the urban vinyl culture. (even if I don't own even one designer toy, not even a Munny.) I can't name drop this and that street artist turned international collaborator of big ass cool urban brands and fashion houses. I know enough. I recognize this and that.
Mike Leavitt does somewhat caricatures of people, to put it loosely.
Not so crazy about his work.
Too literal. Ugh.
But on second thought, maybe if I saw them in real life I'd be less critical and more of a fan.
(and I saw his working sketches, and I think they had more character than the actual 3d versions!)
I do however appreciate this series.

why? cos each Art "soldier" is worth googling. Just to enrich you modern & post-modern art knowledge.
PS
I think most of them we discussed in Art History I just have a really shitty memory
PPS
The only artists who I remember/ didn't need googling we're Damien Hirst, Christo, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, and Yayoi Kusama. Shet. Ang konti lang ng alam ko.
