In the spirit of Halloween and all things Trump, pumpkin artist Jeanette Paras transformed a 374-lb pumpkin into a "Trumpkin". The Ohio-based artist has been creating celebrity pumpkins since 1988.

According to Time Magazine, the "Trumpkin" took well over 10 hours to paint and came complete with the business mogul's signature blonde bouffant. When asked on how she finds her inspiration for her pumpkin pieces of art, Paras said that she likes to find inspiration into what was trending in the media today.

"I just 'pumpkinize' whoever is visible in the media over the time," she said in a report with CNN.

According to the report, the GOP presidential candidate frontrunner was an obvious choice for her to work on this year since Trump has been active in his campaign, appearing in all sorts of social media and making public appearances. Paras also said that she also had some candidates to consider, but Trump came out as the obvious winner. She also added that she would not reveal who those other candidates were.

"He's just everywhere," she said of the former host of "The Apprentice".

The Ohio resident even took Trump's slogan "Make America great again" and made it into a new quip "Make pumpkins great again". The sign now sits on Paras' front lawn for visitors to see.

Paras' previous creations included Miley Cyrus as the infamous wrecking ball, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky and even North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Paras admitted that the hardest part of creating her pumpkin works of art was to match the celebrity to the shape of the pumpkin. She found this particularly challenging when she attempted to create Jay Leno and tried to fashion a pumpkin into the shape of Kim Jong Un's head.

Despite her works of art, Paras insists that she is not an artist and that she is only doing this in the spirit of things. While Paras has earned some media attention for her creations, she does not profit from any of them and says that she just likes to do them because she found it enjoyable.

"Anything you can do in life that people can enjoy just for a moment is special. It cracks me up so that's why I do it," Parras added.

The Columbus Dispatch reveals that the Trumpkin required six 38-inch blonde wigs to give the Trumpkin the authentic Trump look. Paras does not reveal how she votes and seems proud of her latest creation.

When asked what she will do with "Donald Trumpkin" when he starts to rot on her porch. the Ohio native had this to say.

"It gets the axe and goes to the curb," she answered.
