Mini meme

We’ve mentioned Michael Leavitt previously, he’s the guy who makes artist Action Figures.

A few of the recent additions are Jeff Koons, Matthew Barney, Takashi Murakami and Julian Schnabel. We’re figuring most of you will know who’s who but for those who don’t, here’s Leavitt's master chart.
