Pittsburgh artist Baron Batch turns football drive into bold art
A former Tech athlete, Baron Batch left football to pursue art in Homestead and Austin. He runs Studio AM with Angry Man Salsa, paints from midnight to dawn, and designs works using newspapers, leaves, and grass. Batch has sold hundreds of pieces, earning 2,500 to 8,000 dollars each, up to 40,000, while planning more prints and high-volume production. His family valued resilience after his mother’s death, guiding his shift from sports to a thriving, disciplined artistic career.
