Ben Flynn, a.k.a Eine, was born in London, England, in 1970 and is one of London’s most prolific and original street artists who specialises in the central element of all graffiti – the form of letters. Originally a writer he started his career over twenty five years ago as a vandal leaving his first tag all over London before eventually developing a distinct typographic style.

Specialising in producing huge letters on shop fronts, Eine's bright, colourful letters have transformed streets around the world, most famously ‘Alphabet Street’ – the shutters and murals he painted in his trademark colours and typography in Middlesex Street, London. Transgressing the usual stylised image devised to depict form and emotion and through a combination of colour, placement and size, Eine's letters become abstract and unique works of art in their own right.

Eine shot to international fame when the Camerons presented one of his works to President Obama as a gift on their first official state visit and his recent San Francisco solo show sold out prior to opening. He was also included in the biggest exhibition of street art to date “Art in the Streets” at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), Los Angeles.
