BNE is an iconic phenomenon that is being "tagged" all over the world. In the street art underground scene, BNE is a legend. More people are starting to know about him as he has shown up on news around the world. Everyone has their own interpretation of what BNE stands for. These stickers cross the boundaries of an "art gallery" radically. It smoothens the boundaries between posters, collectables, and street art. BNE goes through hundreds of stickers a day to leave his mark in as many places as possible. He is using this campaign as his voice against Starbucks, Pepsi, and other billion dollar companies. BNE asserts that if he's got to look at their logos, he should have the same privilege to put his up. Despite his fame, BNE remains anonymous even at his recent gallery exhibition in New York last year.
