Hugo Atkins born 1989 in Melbourne.

As a youngster Hugo was obsessed with Hobby Modeling and Battle Dioramas. He developed and displayed award-winning talent in both painting and modeling.

In 2004 Hugo stumbled into Rancho Notorious, a local Melbourne graffiti shop and haunt for local artists.

The culture around the shop exposed Hugo to Melbourne's graffiti and street art, which has since been the major influence on his artwork, ranging from sculpture to his graphic design and posters.
