Partridge is one of the most respected songwriters in Mobile; he has gained national and international attention for his second full-length recording, Cotton Fields and Blood For Days. It has received rave reviews including a lengthy feature on AL.com.
Partridge is also gaining recognition for his folk art, which are primarily acrylic paintings on tar board and linocut/ink piece which he premiered at his CD release show in February of 2018. Since then Abe has sold dozens of paintings, which are now hanging in galleries and becoming highly collectible. He was also commissioned by Haint Blue for a huge mural that is proudly displayed in their new brewery and is also utilized on their glassware.
Abe's art was featured in the Atlanta Creative Loafing, saying "The artwork, acrylics on tar board, illustrate the discrepancies Partridge has observed in life, two-dimensional parables of a three-dimensional world. Rudimentary in execution, with phrases like 'Colors are all that matter when you are already outside the lines' (also a line from the first song on his new album) or 'Some songs put a devil in your flowers,' the paintings are dark, though not as dark as his songwriting"
