txt: Ben Eine - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eine is most notable for his alphabet lettering on shop shutters in London's Shoreditch, Brick Lane and Broadway Market areas. Some of these letters have been mapped for ease of finding.[3] He has also taken his lettering to the streets of Paris, Stockholm, Hastings and Newcastle upon Tyne. Prior to becoming involved in commercial graffiti, Eine was a very famous and highly credible writer in the underground London graffiti scene. [...] Eine first came to prominence in the "commercial" graffiti scene through his symbiotic partnership with London graffiti artist Banksy; through Eine, Banksy was able to access the underground scene and through Banksy Eine accessed the commercial world. Impressed by the work of Banksy Eine chose to focus on "commercial" graffiti.

First of all: Before starting a career as a graffiti artist you have to make sure to have another income than your art to live for over a long period of time and maybe even for the rest of your life.... This is the best way to keep your work free from any parasites or bad influences from people who dont care about you as an artist but only about their own benefits of YOUR work. [...] Fifthly: The ligths of the city quickly go out!!! and how to switch them on? It is in the cold of the darkness when you are alone and looking for someone and the way out back to the lights of success that your conscience is being cleaned because free of the blinding pollution of success. Your pain will turn into a new creativity. And you should never forget the old law of nature that after a down always comes an up...

"If the mission of art has been to propose new ways of conceiving and feeling to everybody - and not to just a narrow circle of people - not just on special occasions but in everyday life, then it becomes necessary to think about the fact that maybe the art has completed his historic task. Better: design has taken charge of that task, and it is nowadays at the forefront in the job of displacement, erosion, activation, modulation on the edge between possible/impossible, real/surreal, daily/extraordinary."
