These portraits by Michael Leon send a HUGE message out to the leaders of the world. I know not all of them are men, but we’ll say the female leaders have ‘imaginary parts.’

These [wee-wee country flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bland-castles) are just telling us what all world leaders are trying to tell each other: “I’m bigger than you!” (In, and out of, the pants.)

Michael Leon’s [patriotic assault on the male anatomy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wapping-paper) is a humorous, quirky, and strong look at the globe and all the nations it’s composed of. Maybe if the world leaders weren’t comparing quantity over quality, this planet might be a much nicer place.
