Abcnt Seppuku Print Release Details

Stencil for the hand embellishment

Los Angeles graffiti artist Abcnt returns to 1xRUN Monday with a new print titled Seppuku.

"I got pulled over twice on a weekend recently and the idea came to me shortly after that.

I wanted to portray dead cops, but keeping with the tradition of non-violent resistance. So the problem solving was trying to figure out how I would communicate that dilemma.

I don't condone violence against police, but I'm okay with self inflicted violence by police for the sake of honor."- ABCNT

This print is 24 x 18 Inches Hand-Embellished 6-Color Serigraph on 130lbs Mohawk Fine Art Paper.

As for the name Abcnt? It’s an evolution of an alias dating back to his early days of spray paint and stencils, when he was known as simply absent—a tonic acronym with a tonic maxim embodying the artist: Always Be Successful Entertaining New Terrain.

On sale Monday at 1xRUN.com at Noon EST

Abcnt War On Drugs Print

1xRUN have another new artist releasing a print today. The artist is Abcnt, who is a sociopolitical activist/anarchist, the product of mid-nineties expressionism and new-millennium activism, who describes himself as “[a] real west coast hip-hop fanatic, with a kind of militant attitude towards consciousness.” And how does he execute his expression and voice? Through avenues in politically charged street art and music.

The print War on Drugs is a 18 x 24 Inches 9-Color Screen Print on 130lbs Mohawk Vellum Fine Art Paper with a signed and numbered edition of 50

"The original is a few pieces of paper I taped together after drawing it out. I made it shortly after I watched a documentary called 'The House I Live In" which tells a pretty complicated story with ease about the drug war and I wanted to attempt to do something similar and tell a complex story with a simple graphic.

I think it's able to highlight a stupidity everyone can relate to in a quick effective way by pointing out how foolish a literal war against a plant might look like.

We've never been closer to legalizing marijuana in the U.S. than we are now and this print represents the zeitgeist of what we're trying to leave behind." - Abcnt
