Would love this for my boys room, but I am a cheap bastard these days.

All USPS international shipments are technically trackable. Even First Class which is the cheapest option offers basic tracking. Definitely not as detailed as FedEx, but it is available.

I can see that, but it's still fun to curate your own collection and see how different pieces play together on your walls. I'm happy to now have a circus font print that just pops with color. |

Asking $350 for a print and they can only show two photographs - neither of which shows where it is signed or numbered. Perhaps buyers are just being taken for granted

new Ben Eine print "Charming" by E&C /USA, by elephant on Sept 1, 2016 21:19:35 GMT 1, I noticed some discussion about wanting the full bleed as opposed to the white border, and my take it that full bleed does indeed rule, but I am not big into the full bleed with say a Red or Bright colored marker signing by Eine. I appreciate a simple pencil signature. I'd be cool with a signature en verso actually. This is one of the things that is causing some hesitancy about picking up the modern art neon print.
I think that this image is really fun though, I love the colors and the font, however, for me there's something about the word Charming that doesn't resonate. I know that some cultures use the word in a real endearing way and that's awesome, to me though, it has an air of fluffiness or insincerety when I think of describing a person or thing as charming.
I've never met an awesome person, or seen an awesome piece of art, or watch, or car, or natural scene of beauty and thought ...oh, Charming. Maybe that's playing into the non instant sellout of this edition?

The last piece that came from elephant and castles cost me rather a lot in tax when I had to go and pick up from the post office. I definitely learnt a lesson that day.

The difficulty is in how to take the font idea past the alphabet, into words, phrases, sayings. That is where I see the struggle. I recently saw his Home Sweet Home piece, which I thought interesting, as it was an interesting play on the embroidered samplers of said sentiment long displayed in the average yokel's home.
By and large I find his choice of words uninspiring, and that would seem to be an issue in a word painting.
I used to like Eine's work - but it's honestly very boring now, just seeing different words in the same old fonts. My thoughts are that he started with a great idea of taking something largely taken for granted (typeface) and turning it inside out - as witnessed by his early alphabet pieces, particularly when leaving out the "W" - very witty. One of these pieces is usually what I see when Eine is included in notable group shows, for example the Robt.Williams' curated LA show had an Eine alphabet piece. These are his iconic works (IMHO).

"King" of prints with type but nowhere near being a king of typography. His typography/design skills are extremely poor/nonexistent.

new Ben Eine print "Charming" by E&C /USA, by dmm8878 on Sept 17, 2016 2:02:41 GMT 1, Print arrived mint today in New England, USA. It was packed incredibly well in a wide, crush proof tube. Kudos to whoever took care of that. Needless to say, it's just awesome in person. The background pattern is way more subtle than the online images let on, which was actually a pleasant surprise for me. The colors are just brilliant. This is my 5th Eine print and it just might be my favorite (black glitter "Amazement" a very close 2nd). I'll post pics tomorrow in natural light.

Cool saw them at astoria headlining, with Neds atomic dustbin and they were subsequently introduced by a small and unknown band at the time - Blur! Blur only lasted 10 minutes as Damon was so drunk he fell into drum kit and had to be dragged off!! Those were the days.
