Yesterday Hanksy put up some new pieces at the Five Points in Bushwick, right by the Ridgewood border on Troutman Street at Saint Nicholas Avenue. Meet Theodoor Huxtable, and Dhor—who Hanksy tells us is "somewhat like Thor, but with a lot more door."

Five Points is run by Bushwick native Joe Ficalora, Director of Operations at GCM Steel, inc., his family business (which owns the building)... and he is "constantly repainting" the walls, so check out those Hanksy pieces soon!
