Artist Scott LoBaido wowed the crowd of approximately 18,000 people at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Long Island Wednesday night, generating a compelling portrait of the former president in just over three minutes as thunderous music played.

Wait till the end:

Now, it looked to me like the black and white part depicting Trump himself had been painted earlier, and LoBaido unveiled it by pulling off some sort of plastic. That didn’t ruin it for me, though, because it took planning and execution and was a nice reveal, almost like a magic show. The end result was a heck of a lot better than I could do in three hours—much less 180 seconds.

The 59-year-old self-titled “Patriot Artist” is a Staten Island native and staunch Trump supporter who wants to try to talk some sense into the other side:

LoBaido, known predominantly for his paintings of American flags in addition to political activism, told Fox News Digital that while he feels alienated by the mainstream art community, he hopes to bring Trump critics into the fold with his work. 

I specifically want to reach out to the people on the other side who hate Donald Trump, people that hate him for the stupidest reasons,” LoBaido said.

Here’s another angle showing the reveal:

As cool as it is to watch him produce his pieces, he’s also got plenty to say. In an interview after the rally, he compared Trump to a firefighter:

“Your house is burning down, your children on the second floor, flames shooting off the back, screaming out the window. The guy across the street is a fireman, but you don’t like his hairdo. You don’t like his tan. You don’t like what he tweets. That guy is going to come in and save your house from burning and save your children. Do you give a crap about his hair, his mean tweets or the tan that he has?”

“I don’t think so. That’s what people need to think about,” he added.

Watch:

Now that’s a great accent, just saying. LoBaido reminds me of another conservative talent, Sabo, who creates hysterical memes and artwork mocking Democrats and progressives and puts them up in public places.

As artists, both face plenty of blowback from triggered leftists, but that doesn’t stop them from doing what they do. Keep up the good work, fellas.
