Ben Eine (Ben Flynn) 

Ben Flynn is a street artist who is based in London, England. He was born on August 23, 1970. Ben is famously known for his alphabet lettering on shop shutters in London. He hasn't just allowed his talent to flourish in London but he has also taken his lettering to the streets of Paris, Stockholm, Hastings, and Newcastle upon Tyne. Ben also, in his commercial work, has produced lettering styles such as, 'Shutter', 'Circus', 'Neon','Elton', 'Vandalism', and 'Wendy'.

Barack Obama is also familiar with Ben's art work as he was presented with a painting of a complete alphabet (image below). this was an official gift from the British Prime Minister, David Cameron. 


Ben's lettering often features in magazines and promotional materials. His work was used by a pop group called 'Alphabeat' and features in Duffy's music videos for "Stepping Stone" and also, briefly, in Snow Patrol's video for "Take Back the City".

In my opinion his typography is quite appealing due to the use of blending and the use of bright colours. He also doesn't make his typography one shade of a colour, he tends to make the colour fade out which makes the letter stand out more so I think its a very creative way of using colour in his prints.
