About the artist:

NYC-artist Hanksy has taken his sh*t show on the road with his “Dump Across America” campaign. Enlisting a group of fellow artists, the urban prankster has visited both New Hampshire and South Carolina with a mobile carnival in an attempt to push his Dump Trump (bowel) movement. 

While ultimately unsuccessful in both respective primaries, Hanksy understands the power of one image. 

“I’ve never put much weight behind my work. It’s all very topical and light-hearted. I painted that silly Trump mural in NYC late last summer a few weeks after the wigged one announced his presidential run. The mural was a joke and so was Trump. Unfortunately the punchline never came and it’s scary as hell.” -Hanksy

By using thousands of buttons, hundreds of yard signs and banners, the group (labeled the Doo Doo Boys by one drunk Trump supporter) hopes his simple graphic of a photo-realistic Trump likeness atop a cartoon pile of feces will help sway public opinion. He has made all Trump artwork available as a free download at dumpacrossamerica.com and enlists people to “print, post, protest.”

At the very least, Hanksy has proven that Trump does not know the difference between a poop and a potato. You are what you eat apparently. See video for explanation.

Hanksy is an anonymous graffiti artist and parodist based in New York City. As the name implies, he is most noted for his parodies in which he combines pieces from British graffiti artist Banksy with the face of actor Tom Hanks.

His career began in April 2011, when he created a cut-out of a Banksy rat holding a paint roller with an image of Hank's face over it. He then pasted it on a building in Little Italy and someone posted a picture of it on Instagram. It eventually went viral and by 2014 Hanksy was collecting thousands for the Banksy-Hanks mashups at sold out shows across the country. His work has since branched out, including other celebrities and light-hearted imagery - most notably, a giant mural of Presidential candidate Donald Trump depicted as a large pile of excrement.

Hanksy has been recognized for other works and shows beyond his signature parodies. n December 2013 he held a collaborative "building destruction party" in an abandoned East Village tenement, filling the walls with art. The show was called Surplus Candy, and involved over twenty local street artists. A similar, but larger event took place in Los Angeles during October 2015. Surplus Candy LA was open for one night only in a dilapidated LA mansion. Over 90 artists were involved with attendance reaching beyond 2,000 people.

In August 2015, two months after Donald Trump announced he would run for President of the United States, Hanksy painted a mural the Huffington Post dubbed Tronald Dump, depicting the candidate as a cartoonish pile of feces.
