Mike Leavitt (born November 4, 1977) is an American visual artist based near Seattle, Washington known for a variety of pop art, fine art and satirical works in multimedia. Leavitt "blends art, design and social commentary" with his cardboard shoes, handmade statues of cultural icons and other projects. Inspired to honor his 11th-generation American citizenship inherited from John Leavitt (1608–1691), Leavitt's political work is reproduced by the Brooklyn, NY toy company 'FCTRY'.
