Alcasid is a contemporary artist living and working in Southern California. A native of the Mira Mesa neighborhood of San Diego, Alcasid was initially a self-taught artist. Entering the scene in a non-traditional fashion, his early forays into the arts were spent creating in the form of graffiti and street art. He later developed his artistic practice through academia, graduating from the Museum Studies program at San Diego Mesa College.
