Los Angeles Pop Art (also known as LA Pop Art) is an American company, founded by Joseph Leibovic, headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company creates text based artwork, entirely drawn by hand, also known as Micrography. By using entire movie scripts, complete song lyrics and manuscripts, Los Angeles Pop Art creates images out of the text that tell the story of that specific image.
The portfolio of designs are used for the manufacture of a number of products, which include Apparel, Wall Art and more. These products are sold online in numerous stores as well as in traditional brick and mortar retailers. The portfolio is also licensed out to partner companies for the manufacture of a wide range of products that include everything from stickers to beach towels.[1]
In 1994 founder Joseph Leibovic was living in Israel when he stumbled upon the Micrography style of art while watching street artists, in the mystical town of Tzvat. The idea of Americanizing this style of art, by creating posters of classic films out of entire scripts, and music icons out of their legendary lyrics, was matured over the following 9 years. It wasn’t until Joseph moved back to Los Angeles, in 2004, that the idea was finally brought to life and Los Angeles Pop Art was founded.[1]
Los Angeles Pop Art has worked with some of the biggest names in music and film creating pieces for ACDC, KISS, David Bowie, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, The Bob Marley Estate, Godfather, Scarface, Rocky, Nirvana, and many more A+ properties.[1]
The work developed at Los Angeles Pop Art has been featured in top magazines such as Playboy, Rolling Stone, Maxim and Stuff, as well as in top rated TV and films like Breaking Bad, Weeds, The Sopranos, Jersey Shore, The Girls Next Door, Workaholics and Battle: Los Angeles.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
Some of Los Angeles Pop Art’s original art is also included in major art collections and exhibits, such as The Ronald Reagan Presidential Art Collection[8] and being included in The Amazing Collection at Ripley’s Believe it Or Not museums around the world.
