Bas was born in 1978, in Miami, Florida and moved upstate to a small town as a young boy. Bas has described growing up in the town as "kind of like living in the 'X-Files," and has credited it with his interest in the paranormal. He says he had a "spooky childhood" full of "U.F.O. and Bigfoot sightings mixed with ghosts in the woods and a bunch of other bizarre occurrences." Bas began painting at around three or four years old. He attended the art magnet program in the Miami public school system. Bas said that through the program he effectively began attending art school in seventh grade and by the time he graduated from New World in 1996, he was doing four hours of art every day. Because of his early art education, Bas did not feel that he needed any more formal training and left the Cooper Union after one semester. While Bas identifies himself as a painter, he has also experimented with other mediums such as film and also photography. Bas' artwork is part of the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
