death is swift. rebirth is imminent. paradigm is stifling... so creeps the mind king with her double edged sword... first removing my hands, my arms.. soon my head. she has given fair warning. i tried to blame the culture... but it's just this self. this damned self... grasping the culture as if i ever could... this outsider... this.
in the rage of wisdom i first damned others... for their profiteering motivations, for their repetition for the sake of self identity and lack of creative discipline, for their need of cultural identity. the shunning hermit prevailed for some time, ignoring the culture, and soon the ego resurfaced, damning myself for empty motivations and participating in a dying and ill culture. then the realization came forth that it was only this. this self. i sinned against what was the pure manifestation of abandonview.
abandon style, abandon culture, abandon politics, abandon religion, abandonview... and ultimately the self is void. no self to abandon.
who ever thought a graffiti artist should keep one name? why the craving need for self identity of course. we all get buffed. leave no trace.
respect for those able to distill the essence... you have always been my inspiration. you know who you are.
and so, mind king... here's my head.

Poignant graphic comment with dada elements, I like how you rip through and texturize your paper, leave your mark by side swiping one cultural image after another, ahhhhhhh...eye candy for us green brickolagers.
you gotta get a domain and personal website up and running, this is some serious work yoou have here, i feel stupid not taking the time to really observe it longer ago... take care and keep that DADA flame alive
watching, gathering, transforming, presenting. from one observing your solid visions, thank you, and keep at it. it is vital to our evolutions. ~D.H.
visionary work...
the only thing bad i could ever hope to say about yor art is that there isnt enough of it.
awesome work, a real inspiration, colours , ideas, finish the whole packed dude, keep on keepin on..
abandonview's work, to say the least is, beautiful, haunting, and intelligent. and behind it is a kid who is so determined to explore everything in his art that he's just going to keep blowing all of us away.
Really diggin your work and eye for design... DARK
buenos trabajos
this mundano artist have a insane expression, and a fantastic use of colors mixed with a lot of ARTitude, so he have a genial original style!
theres nothing i can think to say about Abandonview that his modest comments and and incredible artwork that would do any of it justice. Beautifull lines, Wonderfull compositions, Gorgeous colors and best of all, Public Exhibition on interesting delapidated buildings! You totally rock abdn!
