With this second BLACKBOOK we offer an intensive insight into 30 years of trainwriting – by and with the graffiti writer ABIS. ABIS belongs to the second graffiti generation in Potsdam, a suburb of Berlin, as he describes his homeland. His focus quickly turned to the tunnels and sidings of the neighboring German capital. Here he will spray countless trains over the next 30 years, investing a significant part of his life in the perfect preparation, the often very quick execution and the documentation of the countless panels and wholecars. ABIS is one of the few train writers in Germany that has always been on the move and seemingly never stopped. Therefore, we have not made it easy for ourselves to put together this book with the aim of summarizing such a long period of time in an appropriate and representative manner. This book contains over 400 carefully selected photos from his private archives dating back to the 1990s. In addition to photos, ABIS shares thoughts and stories about important time periods and events, combined with guest contributions from fellow graffiti writers such as KEAS, AREA, LION, ROY, DENIS and KONE. This BLACKBOOK 02 documents one of the most committed trainwriters in Germany, active since 1992 under various names, mainly known for his high productivity and quality of graffiti on trains: ABIS – from the BAD CREW!- Red Tower
