Ben Eine will be ever valuable?, by drip on Jun 11, 2020 12:57:18 GMT 1, I caught some He-Man a few years ago (I make it sound like a virus), and like you said, back in the 80s it was unmissable television. My adult self could barely sit through 5 minutes of it, and yet I have such fond memories of it. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Fond Memories now ruined!๐๐ The storylines are laughable๐คฃ Another 80s show I caught recently was the terror hawks !now that is still good , canโt believe it was geared towards 5-10 year oldS all the modern comparatives seem soft With He-Man, I always hated the juxtaposition (art forum) of swords and axes alongside lasers. Sure, we have lasers, but I'll carry a massive fire axe, I should be fine. And the morals at the end of every episode. No cars or roads on Eternia, yet all of a sudden, He-Man saves 2 kids from running into traffic, to teach road safety. No. And in a world where the primary weapons are bladed objects, all those fights and no cuts. Weird. Anyway, yeah Terrahawks was good. Zelda is still terrifying.

Ben Eine will be ever valuable?, by Hubble Bubble on Jun 11, 2020 14:13:31 GMT 1, I haven't bought any of Ben's stuff in a long while but have several iconic prints (Scary, Exciting, Shutterfont numbers, some alphabets etc) and some tasty originals that I love. Not sure if they'll ever make any money but I think he's an important part of the scene and the canvases always get positive comments from visitors whether or not they know much about art.

Edit: Speaking of closure, Eine's whole instagram account is now unavailable. That's always a sure sign you've recently made a reasonable and well thought-out post.

He's up on a lot of billboards at the moment as part of some togetherness-in-this-moment campaign and many of them are getting defaced, so perhaps the posts and place they suggest that he's in is related.
If it weren't for the publicised nastiness, he probably would 'hold' some value at least in London as his street stuff is widespread/well known/part of the scenery. Or in other words, for plenty of people I'd imagine that owning an Eine print is like a more expensive version of having a vintage London tube poster on your wall or something. Of course though, the more that know about him, the less likely that held value is to remain.

And if you *do* happen to feel like there's a dark void inside your heart, a darkness you're in danger of fatally falling into, or if you feel like just even existing is too difficult and not worth the constant struggle any more, please, please reach out to someone. Anyone. Friends, family, even a wally online. There's no shame in letting others know how you're feeling. And I know it can be tough for guys to show weakness or vulnerability. Especially in the gritty, cutthroat world of urban art. But sometimes it's enough just to get the bad thoughts, the dark thoughts, outside of your head. People might not be able to solve your problems or how you feel, but you can let others know that you're in pain, that you're suffering, and that you're tired. Sometimes just knowing that others know what you're going through, that people can see you, actually see the real you, the you that you might struggle with, or even hate, if they can see that and let you know that, yeah, it's sh*t, but they'll be there for you, then sometimes that can be enough to prevent you from making a permanent mistake.
All of us are only here once, and we're all worth something. Death can wait.

Definitely..Needs friends to rally round him and help him sort his life out. Doesn't need to be kicked while he's down. Even if the downfall is of his own making.

I really feel sorry for the man. He made some big mistakes and it's hard to forgive an abuser, but as others have said โ he's clearly in a bad place right now. I hope he pushes through it and comes out stronger. I think he can redeem himself, but it won't come easy.
