biography
Born in Pittsburgh, artist working under the synonym Asch grew up surrounded by his father's DC Comics icons. However, Asch himself is more devoted to music and studies saxophone at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. At the end of the 1980s he became increasingly active in the graffiti scene in New York. After a long search for the right motif, he first designed invitation cards and advertisements for an advertising company specializing in type. After his father's death, Asch returns to Pittsburgh and takes over his father's comic book collection. Inspired by his childhood heroes, Asch finally discovers his leitmotif for art and combines his passion for music with the stars of old DC comics. 67117471
