Street Artist Ben Eine's London Mural for Charity Shelter

March 8, 2012

Earlier in the week, Hookedblog caught up with British street artist Benjamin Flynn aka Ben Eine as he was hitting up the walls of East London's Village Underground with a large scale typographic piece he was painting in support of Shelter's campaign Home For Londoners.

According to the campaign message; "London is the best city in the world. But our housing is in crisis. There’s a desperate shortage of affordable homes for Londoners. We’re priced out of homeownership and we’re competing to rent run-down properties for astronomical prices.

London’s next Mayor will get new powers to fix our housing. We say: London’s housing deserves the same commitment as London’s transport. We’ve got Transport for London. Now the Mayor must create Homes for London."

The completed Ben Eine located on the Shoreditch Art Wall on Commercial Street in London, reads 'Home Sweet Home Less'.

The finished mural is pictured above and below is a short timelapse video of Ben Eine at work on the mural and has been put together by director Abbie Brandon.
