Atticus was born in Oregon and raised in a small town in West Virginia where he bravely put together GQ-like outfits with second hand clothes and had a yellow fake fur bedspread.
After graduating from West Virginia University with a degree in the health sciences, he cobbled together art and design classes from places like Tidewater Community College, Harvard University, The Rhode Island School of Design, and Yale School of Art.
He now lives and works in Pittsburgh PA.
