(CNN) Beto O'Rourke has made an unexpected appearance ... in a hayfield in Texas.

The former Texas congressman, who announced his 2020 presidential campaign last week, was enshrined in a crop circle artwork by US artist Stan Herd.

The artwork, located near Austin, Texas, stretches across 2 acres of rural farmland near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, offering a scenic descent for air passengers.

Herd, a lifelong Democrat from Kansas, was inspired to create the crop circle to express his support for O'Rourke following his defeat in the US Senate race against incumbent Ted Cruz last year.

The crop circle took two weeks to complete and cost around $12,000.

Months after his loss, O'Rourke, a record-breaking fundraiser in the Senate race, joined the crowded field of Democrats seeking the 2020 nomination. This week, his campaign said it had averaged $47 per donation in a record-breaking $6.1 million fundraising haul on the first day of his presidential campaign, outstripping fellow candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' $5.9 million.
