Hanksy is the pseudonym for New York City-based street artist and parodist Adam Lucas, who also goes by Adam Himebauch.[1] His artwork under the moniker Hanksy includes recreations of Banksy street art adapted to include a cartoon interpretation of actor Tom Hanks.[2]

Beginning in 2022, Himebauch began working under his actual name and has advertised a documentary film chronicling his artistic origins.[3]
