New Hanksy Work - "Eazy-E Bola"

Posted with the caption "Straight Outta Congo,"(bad geography Hanksy)  a play on the NWA hit "Straight Outta Compton," Hanksy’s latest work is topical; in fact it’s THE topic of the moment as newspaper headlines throughout NY had one thing to say this morning, Ebola has hit NYC.  The artwork depicts the late rapper, in the form of a strain of the Ebola virus, holding two guns next to a bottle of prescription pills. Hanksy calls the piece "Eazy-E Bola."

The art was pasted on the corner of Division and Canal Streets in Chinatown.

"Don't get me wrong, Ebola is like hella serious omg," the artist told ANIMAL. "But American media just loves to sensationalize things."

New Hanksy Work

Hanksy  is back to doing his thing on the streets of the Lower East Side and for this  installment of  the always fun Tom Hanks-Banksy mashup, the artist goes with a Tom from the 1990s film “A League of Their Own.”  Hanks’s baseball-capped head was superimposed onto Banksy’s “Peeing Dog.”  The piece was spotted on Mulberry Street just north of Kenmare.

Our Second Hanksy is a nod to the famous maid piece Banksy originally painted in Camden some years back, Doesn’t look like a specific Tom Hanks character was used in this one but it’s equally fun and includes some commentary.
