"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) leavitt has said, "i wanted to pay respect to people's work i love, and give them a little taste of their own medicine" exploring the concept of an artist's body being consumed by their work. the 'enemy' of the "art army", "the man", included martha stewart, britney spears and the john tesh, michael bolton, kenny g "3-headed monster". "the 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) "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."
