Michele Witchipoo was born and raised in New York City. A self-taught artist, she learned how to cartoon by watching Hanna Barbera animation and reading Peanuts newspaper strips from a very early age. During her teen years that she discovered underground/counterculture music, film and comics, such as Love and Rockets.  All of these influences would have an effect on Michele for years, and still continues today.
