Ben Eine x Zippo, by ben3486 on Jan 23, 2018 14:54:09 GMT 1, I saw this the other day. I dig the huge car park sized piece, but not feeling the lighter. maybe its just because I dont like yellow. Maybe I just prefer Eine's work on canvas, paper and walls.
Thoughts?
Zippo Lighter

The man has to eat and put a roof over his head. I helped out with this, two days, it was an epic experience.

As we all do. It wasn't a negative comment. I'm simply saying a lot of Eine merch has seen the light of day in the past too weeks. It's a different pace than the occasional scarf and whatnot that we've seen in the past. |

I think Ben's style lends its self to different things well, not sure on the clothing, but as you say the guy has got to make a living and if an avenue opens up that will pay the bills, then who are we to judge.
I love the idea of the Zippo lighter.... I think its just the yellow that isn't doing it for me haha id have def been a buyer in a standard metal finish with the text still the same, or some other dark matt colour.

Massive achievement still. Well done guys.

Ben Eine x Zippo, by moron on Jan 23, 2018 17:05:53 GMT 1, I thought the biggest art was one of those huge man made corn circles in the UK. Globally isn't it the "this land was our land" graffiti in the US?
I don't blame Eine going the clothing and marketing his art on products route. I wouldn't call him a sellout, just smart enough to take advantage of being London based and the media today as well as urban art style fashion. Plus better for the artist to do it than have his art ripped off and put on T shirts etc by others. A lot of people would only buy Eine prints and art whilst a lot of people would only buy clothes and accessories.

Hey man, I completely agree, and see where you're coming from, I always like it when an artist is getting on and producing their own merchandise, depends on how its done of course. My comment wasn't critical of you either. |

But the record for biggest painting is 10,800 square meters and the largest painting on the ground is 11,965 square meters. 'Create' covers 17,500 square meters so it is bigger but it doesn't hold the record. Not sure why.
I think they were even looking into it being the biggest piece of typography but that seems like a bust too.

I saw a comment from Zippo that the lighter is out tomorrow. They also uploaded a new video
