Arthur Asa
Arthur Asa was born in Monterrey, Mexico. He studied graphic design and industrial design but decided to leave everything behind and become a construction worker. During this time he discovered all he ever wanted to do is draw and tell stories. He is now an illustrator by afternoon and a comic artist by night. Sometimes both by night. He has a comic called Where the Heart Is which you can find online.
