That is such a good reply from Ben! keeping it real and not getting carried away with it all! good on him! Yeah hugs all round (bit gay I know) but that's so good to hear especially with what's going on with the movement at the moment!

[seidbereit]

I'm just pretty blown away by the amount of work he obviously gets through in a month - I must have completely underestimated it! I mean he's done a load of paintings (and thats only the ones mentioned on this thread) on top of doing that huge EXCITING piece on the street (in the freezing cold too).

I bet his studio is full of elves cutting stencils and shaking spraycans..

[andrewd]

Well it's obvious why he left POW. Far too busy being an artist.

lol

[errrr]

i reckong goffy's got a fair point about eine. His lettering is cool and there's no doubt that he's a very accomplished printer and is good at picking a great font but i just can't see that there's much depth to his work. Personally i think the best thing he's done if that artomatic / ilikeprinting Grand National piece from way back that had prince charles and other imagery on it as well as some of his font work . I reckon this lead to a way better and more interesting image if you ask me and i'd wish he'd do more of that sort of stuff but seems like he's slightly stuck in a typography rut in terms of style these days and the main progressions seems to be what word or alphabet he chooses, which of a couple of fonts he wants and the size of the piece.

No disrespect to any avid eine fans out there who'll no doubt have an equally valid but different opinion

[seidbereit]

Thanks for at least putting a considered opinion on the forum, errrr, some quite valid points there but also some which I feel Ben may be in the process of answering all by himself... and on this note, I would only urge anyone in Paris to go to the show advertised on Stella's home page and have a look at the Eine piece in that show. I've seen some pics of it before it was sent and it is (IMO) a pretty big departure from the style to his mainly letter / word based scary/monsters/vandals canvases to date (where the word/text was very much in the foreground) - and very different/new colour schemes too. I think there are some pretty exciting new works to come from Ben now that (if it's true) that he's freed himself from other commitments. That is all I shall say.

[Harveyn]

Ben is not only a true gentleman his work is totally captivating (surprisingly I might say). I have many accomplished pieces in my collection and I can honestly say that Ben's piece is up there with the best of them. I cannot explain why and maybe thats the very reason it is.

"A picture paints a thousand words"

[seidbereit]

Absolutely agree H, I've said it before - Ben's work doesn't just hang on the wall, it looms there.

To quote cyclops:

[artstylee]

I Like the new Eines too forum buddies

[timba82]

can anyone get a link for his new piece in paris?

Ha, Ha. xaagghhxdamnxprick you are so funny. Maybe the 'arsehole could be worn by anyone who wets themselves over a painted letter. Go out into the streets there are loads of them, above shops and everywhere! And seidbereit I am glad you liked my quality contribution, it's great when you can pin something down with just a few quality words.

But you do seem like a bit of an arsehole in all fairness....

[goffy]

Why? In fact I would say that you are an arsehole. Eine does letters in different fonts in different colours, big deal. Are you really that stupid that You cannot see how un-interesting and bland it is. So he writes his name in fancy ways and you act like he has just created The Venus de Milo. Moron.

[menace2sobriety]

when did i act like that?

[goffy]

That comment wasn't meant just for you although I see there is a capital Y on the you, that was typo.

You can add me to that list, I have a canvas on the way! ;D

Nice to see that people with taste are appreciating Bens work.

[goffy]

Yeah! and I bet you still point at planes.

[skelly]

I sort of want that unlimited canvas...saving up for a faile at the moment though

[pezlow]

Goffy I think you have made it pretty clear that you don't like eine. In the same way that you have made it clear that you don't like damien hirst. Can't you just accept that people like different things and move on. I think Eine is great and I see a lot of artistic merit in his work. The use of words and language is something that really appeals to me.

It's fine to say you don't like something but to call someone stupid and a moron for liking something that you don't like is out of order.

[goffy]

Hey Pez, It's not that I don't like Eine it's just when people things like 'classic' 'iconic' 'conversation stopper' or whatever it was when they are talking about a single letter in a fancy font on a small canvas. It is none of those. I just people would be realistic when they talk about some of the work on here. O.K. It's nice and it looks good on your wall, fair enough. I have no problem with that. And as for calling the guy a moron, that was tit for tat. He called me an arsehole and I'm not going to let anyone get away with insulting me without saying something back.

And as for Damien Hirst, don't get me started.

[GD303uk]

Eine clearly has alot of respect in the street art world , Ben has created images people like for many years, and has done more than his fair share of work on the streets,
walking round london seeing his work puts it in context and it works, having a print/canvas/filing cab' of his is like having a small piece of London graff art in your house, with all the other pieces around it looks great,
goffy ,do you look for things you dont like or know anything about before opening your mouth? if you dont want to be insulted then maybe you shouldnt insult peoples taste by infering they are stupid for liking it,

[They call me Stephen]

Eine is also pretty much solely responsible for the production of POW's prints over the past few years from what I've gathered. Like him or not he's probably pulled half the prints in yoru collection.

[goffy]

Graham, if you bothered reading the thread you would see my first comment on this matter was 'Wow. An A' How was I insulting people with that? The insults came at me first, so butt out. And as far as looking for things I don't like, I don't, you just put them in front of me. And if people continue to cream their pants over something mediocre then I shall have my say. And if I am insulted I will insult back. Clear.

[GD303uk]

Wow you are a good art critic.

has anybody noticed this section of Eines site
www.einesigns.co.uk/gallery.php?state=full_image&gallery_id=9&item_id=149
is this Eine or work he likes,

it couldnt be in a better place , its the first thing people will see as soon as they get of the m62
