Mike Leavitt – Art Army Series: Banksy @ NYCC

Mike Leavitt’s on-going Art Army project features his hand-crafted one-of-a-kind action figures of notable artists in the lowbrow and pop surrealist genres.  Now he’s bringing his wit and caricature skills to a new limited-edition figure series produced by Jailbreak Collective.  The first (of 3) figures, featuring a likeness of infamous street artist Banksy, was shown at NYCC.  The figure + included diorama recreates the elusive one’s Gitmo Prisoner prank done at the Big Thunder Mountain rider at Disneyland.    Very cool.
