"Michael Leavitt still keeps the habit of running with his dog and playing basketball everyday- even while working of his solo exhibitions in New York. His work based on well known figures in art and politics is a contrast to his simple personal life." (Obscura Magazine"A Man With an Army", Obscura Magazine, Issue 7, Winter 2011) "Leavitt has a raw talent for capturing prominent artists, musicians and entertainers in their elements and characterizing them into brilliant sculptures." (KidRobot"Mike Leavitt Has a Posse", kronikle.kidrobot.com , May 20, 2011.)
