Live Painting of Barack Obama by David Garibaldi

[hitoritaii]

@ViceWorld i agree

[zethanduke09]

@hitoritaii YOU ARE FORGETTING HE DID IT IN 7 FUCKING MINUTES...your acting like this is his best work...obviously if he had a day if that, it would look even better!

[pixKugelschreiber]

google obama images an u'll find a black and white picture of him which resembles what the artist was painting.... it's obama's fault he looks like that :P

[murdok620]

the eyes look really cool

[EastOldDallas]

I really like your painting style, unique.

[OneKidWithTheFace507]

its, ummm, very, ummm, good

[camparino1]

è assè u' dann!!!

[jakejonesish]

Denny Dent rip-off.......FAIL.

[WatchdogDisciple]

@jakejonesish hey genius did you ever think that denny was his inspiration? fuck head go home

[ViceWorld]

im sorry, although the guy has some great art skills, the painting really looks nothing like obama...just like a retarded obama with down syndrome.

[himpllx]

its not "supposed to look like obama"

its how the artist renders the subject

[LvnAction]

It does not look like Barak Obama.

[t0scalini]

Seriously now...it's performance art for a political event entitled "Sacramento for Obama". And on what planet is an artist not able to freely choose their subject anyway? This is Garibaldi's rendition of the subject...respect.

[ClarkKasheta]

Is this Obama Church?

[markshaw22]

shite 

[MissLanyLove]

idk man... he's kinda cocky. And i also don't agree with idolizing O like he's Jesus. Not a good look. But he does have considerable talent!

[dropwon]

just paint the damn thing!

[OfficialFrizzo]

The first video of this guy that I watched was his Jesus painting and now I've seen him paint Obama. This is disturbing to see a politician be idolized.

[johncp1989]

gotta agree wit Ibomb8, that does kinda not look like him at all...

[circusaroundtheworld]

what looks nothing like obama lol so funny

[whitenoiseist]

okay, of course bright colors are going to pop on a black or dark ground, cheap tricks along those lines are used to hide a lack of technical ability.

proportions are way off here, and for being so loose and quick with his paint, he has no distinguishing mark, its just "cool" painting. pointless work.

[dannyboi9891]

considering the small amount of time he put into the painting i think its good. if you could paint a large scale painting, while dancing in 7 minutes better than this guy id sure be interested to see your video in the responses

[whitenoiseist]

if hes painting in front of a crowd and has all of this hype i would just expect much better is all.

and honestly, i think i could.

[whitenoiseist]

maybe if i were a sell out.

[XooJAK3ooX]

i would love to see you, honestly

[spookylollipop]

@whitenoiseist

lol i agree

[buddybuk]

i saw this guy at the new orleans arena... he did cp3...

His stuff is good considering he only puts like 5 - 10 mins into em.

I'd like to see what he could do if he actually spent like 4-10 hours on a painting or more

[someranclomguy]

hehe i could take a shit on canvas and it would be better.

[Digital0ppr3ssi0n]

he did this in 7 minutes who cares if it doesnt look EXACTLY like Obama

[bangheart]

Im going to just point this out.

but that is freddy crougar at 2:40....

kinda fucking scary.

[itzJoePeezy]

and I'm just going to point THIS out...

you kinda fucking cant spell...

its Krueger

[neilss1]

lol

[Stottly]

Holy crap ...it looks more like Hitler with no mo'....this guys needs more practice if he,s gunna get in front of the public

[ihaveninefingers]

hitler, obama, same thing

[MrGarrison05]

Amazing, although this definitely isn't one of his best. Look at Michael Jackson, Mother Teresa, Jesus, Albert Einstein, Kanye West... etc... All incredible. For you wanabe art critics... pick up a paint brush, TRY and use it, THEN criticize... And Davesevaw, You're a Douche. Get a life.

[lbomb8]

I've seen this guy live. Amazing painter but this looks a lil like Obama with down syndrome.

[thatswhatshesaid42]

he has down syndrome

[rmysterio80]

@lbomb8 yea haha

[richmond436]

That does NOT look like Barack Obama. Are you people stupid?

[portlandplaceNL]

yeah i thought it looked like hitler aswell

[davesevaw]

I cant believe so many people were duped into voting for Obama. Now look at you wishing you hadnt voted for this evil man lowest approval rating for any president in history wow now you realy feel stupid

[Littlemisha]

No ego here. I've had the opportunity to meet David. He is an amazing artist and a wonderful person.

[sharkdogg69]

that shit looks like Smokey Robinson,not Obama

[konzwambii]

With his ego filling up the high school auditorium, was there room left for the audience?

[NicoLatinox]

it looks like hitler

[GNA781]

OMG !!! this guy was at my school today and he was amazing!!! he did kanye, MJ, MKK Jr and at the end he did einstein backwards hes amazing

[AKx4]

At Great Oak? Yeah I was there too! The Kanye looked most real, but they were all awesome! Oh and its MLK, not MKK!

[JBUfan2]

Wooo, I saw him at Great Oak too, amazing stuff!

[cujocommander]

this guy doesnt know what art is

[JBUfan2]

Maybe you don't know what art is!

[jox933]

then you do it......

[konzwambii]

Zero talent. Huge ego.

[JBUfan2]

Try huge talent, no ego I've met him!

[itsDy1an]

i think its funny how in the begining everyone is clapping and at the end there is like on person still clapping. lmfao

[MeganGrenfell]

amazinggg!

[vanpat1987]

more like a Ghost of a OBAMA !!

[Barnmol]

With all due respect... this man is good at doing faces but... I dont see obama's image here.... there are a lot of fast mural painters in the world... this guy is an amateur. Good work.... not great. keep working, man.... you have potential.

[travise148]

yeah I think when I was in grade school, he painted a few portaits of like MLK and Mother Terrisa.. and yeah, why would you hate him? Hes a painter man.. get over it.

[movieviewer92]

This guy came to my high school and performed for us....I don't think I've ever heard so much noise in that gym. He was amazing. He painted Obama, Mother Theresa, MLK Jr., and Jesus.

[zabuzademon2]

ditto...for founders day...

[MTTO1969]

i love it !!!!

[chuxsee17]

I believe with practice, you can paint better portraits...the nose is a little off...

[LaydeeWeezy]

wow! lol this is amazing ! i love it [=

& people need to stop being assholes! mk?!...

poiint IS...this is an ORIGINAL! no other in thee world! & it tok him 7 minutes to do it WHILE performing for a live audience!

watch this me paint Christ...& keep your mouth shut.

[ilikeart55]

maybe the worst artist alive, ashame to the fine arts

[taybo06]

post a vid of you doing better

until then, sorry, im not buying it

Plus its performing arts, not fine art, moron

[Etern4lSlay3r]

i hope you get hit by a bus and die a horrible death

[lovelifelivelove]

What's with all the hate? I love David Garibaldi. He just performed at my University and he is such a talented artist. As for Obama, whether you like it or not, he's our President and he will be changing our world. David is like a motivational... painter. <3 you should do some more research. And YES it's in REAL time. What a talented Fellow

[MADDOGmjb]

Hurr I'm a Durr. DERP! Obama looks like he is retarted, haha.

[NinaKuhl]

That was so cool to watch! thanks for posting!

[MaQWan93machanG]

[Jordanbossman]

Well if this was real time. Then that is amazing beacuse he painted somewhat of an Obama in 7 somthing minuts. So wxalo pertanolt anacha. Good Job

[bernierinthazone]
