A Return Engagement with Ben Eine

Ben Eine is one of the most successful street artists in the world and is regarded as a pioneer in the exploration of graffiti letterforms. Originally a graffiti writer, Eine started his career over 30 years ago, leaving his first tag all over London before developing his distinct typographic style. This week, Ben returns to the podcast to talk about everything from the state of the world today, the importance of body art, and the true power of graffiti and its transformative power. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lockdowns have helped and assisted in containing COVID, but they have come at the cost of our mental health in many ways. We are facing the prospect of a new pandemic, one of mental health issues. Graffiti is about writing your name on the side of an object, and making that name burn into the souls of all who see it. Inspiration comes from many sources, from travel to conversation. We never know when the spark of inspiration will arrive - sometimes it comes from the smallest interaction. There is an intense beauty in the mistaken. Mistakes are how any artform comes to evolve and become something transcendent. BEST MOMENTS 'No one's ever going to wear a suit to the office again' 'It didn't bloody hurt as much as I thought it would bloody hurt' 'A square is a circle with less corners' 'It's about morphing, changing and exploring' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study        Ben Eine - https://beneine.co.uk Ben Eine Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/einesigns/?hl=en ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
