I've seen the Sistine chapel.
But the American flag, to me, is the greatest work of art," says LoBaido.

The DeploraBall
After Trump's inauguration, the pro-Trump ball The DeploraBall invited LoBaido to create a painting at the event. LoBaido was introduced by actor, comedian and host Gavin McInnes, who described LoBaido as a “chain-smoking, swearing Staten Islander who paints the flag all day.”
LoBaido took the stage, yelling “Bye-bye, f–king snowflakes” — a pejorative term for liberals — and “There’s a new sheriff in town!” before creating an abstract painting with a muscular-looking Trump as the centerpiece.
