Last October, British street artist Ben Eine — with the help of New York City graffiti ambassador Alan “KET”– took his signature letterforms and painted them on metal shutters throughout Inwood and the Bronx creating an urban alphabet across two boroughs. Almost a year later, a video interview surfaced of him while working on that project in “Uptown New York.” He also gives the funniest answer for why he doesn’t do anything illegal anymore: “I’m a little bit older and I can’t run away from cops.”
