While I was wandering around east London today, I discovered that Ben Eine had recently replaced one of his murals on Ebor Street. The street contains work by the artist down both sides with 'Tagonists' being replaced in favour of this new mural, which reads "Like Nothing Else". (The other side of the wall still reads 'Extortionist'; originally, one side read 'AntiAntiAnti' and the other read 'ProProPro'.) The letters are a mixture of bright colours with the artist's circus-like typeface as used previously on this wall. Eine uses different typefaces, but this is one of his most common and is also used a block away to spell out 'Old London'.
The last time we saw the artist paint a mural in London was last summer when "Cheese London" was painted near Columbia Road (covered in my Street Art of 2015 Round-up post). The artist is originally from London but moved to the USA a few years ago. He's quite a well-established artist now, and a few of his murals can still be seen in London on Rivington Street, Ebor Street, off Hackney Road, Plough Yard, and Club Row.
The work looks as if it has just been finished. Below is the full mural on Ebor Street.
Other photographs of work by Ben Eine in London can be seen here and here. The later of the two links has a photograph of the artist in action the last time that he painted that wall with 'Tagonists'.
