Eine โข Monster Print, by plymman on Sept 27, 2007 21:10:02 GMT 1, I like Eine's art, to me he's as pure and roots as street art gets. Eine's Monster is a visually stunning hand finished print (even though I had a cashflow panic and almost sold it) and one of my favourites....I decided against selling and hung it today for my wife to ask WTF is that??
She tells me she thought I was losing the plot with some of my Invader prints but that now she knows I'm insane if I think thats good!
I go on to explain why I like Eine, and why I like Monster, then she asks "Why does it just say Monster?".....
Anyone else care to share their thoughts on monster? The print and/or the word......

Eine โข Monster Print, by GD303uk on Sept 27, 2007 22:30:05 GMT 1, i thought about this when i got my Monster piece,
@ first i thought it could be slang for big or good,
then i read a article by Seen he mentioned about the start of his interest in graffiti in the 70's new york he descibed how monsters where poping up all over new york, refeerring to graffs.
i just wondered if Eine was making a nod of respect to the Grand master of street art.
or just calling the piece monster is what it is a "monster" a great piece of urban art
i may be wrong and cant find the article,
and i am sure there are people here who know far more than me , i may have made a tit (boob) of myself and got it totaly wrong,
www.mccaigwelles.com/model_individual.php?t=Past%20Exhibition&model=51
i will keep looking for the article and send it to you if i find it.

Eine โข Monster Print, by andrewd on Sept 27, 2007 22:49:27 GMT 1, Like Wiseblood I've got a Monster canvas ( from Stella Dore ) I'll post a pic tomorrow ( there's one on the Stella Dore bit of the forum )
Art means what you want it to mean. I suppose Monster must be seen in the context of SCARY which Eine painted in Rivington Street.
For me it turns the old adage, a picture paints a thousand words around. A word paints a thousand pictures.

Hey John, welcome to the 'My Partner Just Doesn't Get It' club. 
It's tough nut to crack, especially when it comes to getting those special prints up on the walls but definitely worth doing the washing up, and cleaning the toilet/bathroom for a few weeks, just to get that Mantis piece up in the lounge where it belongs. ;D

I have two of these babies and certainly agree that at 289, it's a steal.
Those that have seen in person will know what I'm on about.

Be happy to take your canvas off your hands for 300 quid any time.
