Meaning simply 'Easier'.

Graffiti was not a popular activity in his hometown and he quickly earned a reputation with the police. Unfazed he pressed on. He moved from Vancouver to Toronto, persuing his love for graffiti. Easer was accepted into the art program at the Ontario College of Art and Design, where he studied for several years. After which he moved to Montreal briefly, before ultimately returning to the city he calls home.
