leavitt has created more political satire including his sculpture of barack obama in a keanu reeves/"matrix" style robe. with a large wood cross and tentacles made of stars and stripes, the 2008 commentary was designed to counter-act negative stereotypes of the candidate during his first presidential campaign. in 2013 leavitt sculpted a satirical portrait of donald trump. the one-off piece was part of leavitt's "empire peaks" series. it depicted the reality tv star as the star wars character darth vader.
