PERSON: Scott LoBaido

Flag Muralist

Scott LoBaido (born April 6, 1965) is an American artist known for patriotic, US Flag, and political themed paintings and sculptures. LoBaido is currently based out of Staten Island, New York. He is most well known for his paintings of flags.

LoBaido has been a vocal supporter of the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump. In 2016 LoBaido’s painting of Donald Trump was seen held by Eric Trump. LoBaido sculpted a 12-foot-tall letter T for Sam Pirrozola’s lawn, a Staten Islander who is now assemblyman. The T, which was in support of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, was torched and investigated by the New York City Fire Department. “POTUS 45” is a painting by LoBaido in which Donald Trump is fit and muscular, a symbolic rendition of Lobaido’s belief in Trump’s ability as a president.

LoBaido is also known to participate in protests, once throwing pizzas at New York City Hall to protest restrictions on coal and wood-fire ovens.
