On my train ride home today I was looking at graffiti and marveling at the typographic mastery that sometimes surprises me amongst walls of scrappy tags and figurative murals. Then this evening I read about Eine’s work, over at my love for you is a stampede of horses,  and it tied in so nicely with what I had been pondering earlier. I’m also pretty grateful to be introduced to Eine, though I feel I am somewhat behind the 8-ball.

On Thursday, July 9 Carmichael Gallery will play host to The A – Z of Change, the debut LA solo exhibition of Eine. Internationally recognized for his super-sized lettering in urban areas, Eine will unveil a new body of works on canvas that combines his trademark typeface, a vivid color palette and provocative imagery to powerful effect.

If I were in LA and not four squillion miles away in Melbourne, I would surely be checking it out.

There is also a Google Map of his letters in & around Shoreditch, UK.
