Everyone' favorite Tom Hanks-obsessed, Banksy-aping street artist is back at it with a new project—The Wooster Collective posted two photos of new Hanksy pieces focusing on sitcom legends Ted Danson and Bill Cosby. And Huffington Post posted another new piece featuring everyone's favorite pseudo-radical feminist, Ryan Gosling. Above, you can see his funky Cosby sweater tribute, "Ted Dancin'" and a Drive-Thru Ryan Gosling.
The new pieces come just a month after Hanksy's first Hanks-focused gallery show at Krause Gallery—some of his pieces will still be on display through the start of March. In an interview with The Awl, Hanksy gave some clues as to this new direction: "I'm working on a series of new stuff. It's still very humorous and relies heavily on easily known pop-culture references. It may or may not include Tom Hanks/Banksy tie-ins and while nothing's been put up yet, New York can expect something very soon."
But here's the real question—do these pass the Chet Haze test? Are the new pieces "twice as Prosperous," or is Hanksy a "Failure to Privilege?"
