I registi più celebri si trasformano nei loro personaggi in queste sculture

Qualche settimana fa abbiamo parlato del lavoro di Henry Hargreaves e Nicole Heffron che, nel loro progetto fotografico “Celebrated for you“, hanno ricreato i party di compleanno (così come ognuno di noi se li immaginerebbe) di alcuni tra i registi più famosi del mondo. Quest’ultimi hanno ispirato anche i lavori di Mike Leavitt, che ha invece pensato di creare bizzarre sculture mixando le fattezze di registi cult a quelle dei loro personaggi più famosi.

Ecco quindi Steven Spielberg trasformarsi in ET, Tim Burton in Batman, BeetleJuice e Edwars Mani di Forbice tutti insieme. E poi ci sono Woody Allen, Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas e tanti altri.

Send this along to help find the buyer of this 18" sculpture for sale @jonathanlevinegallery & unlock a 4" 3Dprint edition – #Batman is carved in the heart of #TimBurton . He's gripped in the throws of a #Beetlejuice crawling up his jugular veins. He entrusts his platforms to carry him along #PeeWeesBigAdventure . It's hard to tell how it'll end. He can't even get around his own #Scissorhands .

UPDATE: You did it!!! I'm happy to announce I'll release a 4in/10cm LE of this #KingCutsLucas totally based on your post engagement. I thank all 50 of you following through here to comment "print", express support & push this project into existence. You're awesome. It'll take me some time to develop the 3D-model, now officially on my to-do list. As soon as it's ready, most likely mid-July, I'll post here & on MikeLeavittArt.com – Wanna buy the 4in/10cm version of this #GeorgeLucas piece? To secure 1st dibs write "Gimme Lucas Jabba" in the subject to leavittmichael@gmail.com – The cost to buy an edition would cover a plastic 3Dprint ($30ea), US shipping ($5) & my time to develop the 3D-model for printing (about 25 hours). It'd be a limited edition of 25 via @shapeways – 14K followers!! I'm humbled. I'm so thankful for your engagement with my work. It fills me w:❤️
