Biography

Stash started painting illegally on New York City's subway trains in the early 1980s, alongside other artists such as Futura and ZEPHYR. He exhibited at age 17 with pop artists Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and later continued on as a successful gallery artist.[2]

In 1989, he appeared as a graffiti artist in the feature film Slaves of New York.

By the 1990s, Stash began collaborating on product designs with high-profile brands such as Nike,[3][4] Reebok,[5] Casio,[6] and A Bathing Ape.[7] He still remains an active graphic designer to this day.[8]

Stash also created two clothing brands and opened a sneaker shop: Subware, Recon, and Nort/Recon Sneaker shop.
