The Trumpkin: Jeanette Paras Puts Donald Trump’s Face On A Pumpkin

It seems like Donald Trump is just about everywhere at the moment, his voice on radio, his face on television, his name on posters and it appears the real estate tycoon has just conquered another medium: pumpkins.

The “Trumpkin”

Check out the bizarre image below.

The “Trumpkin,, as it was christened by creator Jeanette Paras, features a caricature of the GOP Presidential candidate painted on a 374-pound pumpkin. Far from the first celebrity to be “pumpkinized,” however, Paras has been in the pumpkin-painting business since 1998.

“I just ‘pumpkinize’ whoever is visible in the media over the time,” said the Dublin, Ohio, resident, speaking to CNN. “He’s just everywhere,” Paras said of Trump, who’s currently in publicity overdrive to take the top job in politics.

Over the years she has painted everyone who’s anyone, from Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Bill Clinton, Jay Leno and North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un. When asked who might be up for future “pumpkinization,” however, Paras kept mum, saying we’d just have to wait till next Halloween.

The idea to take a paintbrush to these mega-pumpkins first came to Paras when she and her husband decided to bring a few of the super-vegetables home from the annual Circleville Pumpkin Show in central Ohio. Quickly realizing that carving the behemoths was not going to be an easy task, Paras thought painting them would be easier and the rest is novelty-art history.
