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.
