This video is great. The guy is such a character. He talks about how he developed his style to distinguish himself from a graffiti artist while still working on the streets. The video follows him in San Francisco putting up large scale works. Its a really positive video. His work has great messages and he's genuinely excited to be able to the work. Its one of the first interviews that is shot almost entirely outside. There's background noise but it adds to the atmosphere of the video because he's talking about the streets in the context of his work.

The music is fairly upbeat. London underground type stuff. It corresponds with the character of Eine. He's a bit of a 'geezer', in his attitude. A fun colourful video showing people that street art does not just have to be political or socially messaged. It can just brighten your day.
