About Us | Atomic Critter Clothing
Our Mission
To build a character-driven brand that celebrates animals, creativity, and the weird joy of growing up nerdy—through apparel and an ever-expanding story universe made with heart.
“Atomic Critter started as a love letter to the games, stories, and animals that shaped us—and turned into something we wanted to share with the world.”
— Carter & Tim
Who We Are
Atomic Critter Clothing wasn’t born in a boardroom.
It was born on couches, in basements, and during late-night text threads where ideas snowballed somewhere between “this might actually work” and “let’s do it.”
Atomic Critter is the first business venture from brothers and lifelong best friends Carter and Tim — best men at each other’s weddings, collaborators by instinct, and bonded by a lifetime of shared curiosity and creativity. We grew up on video games, comics, sci-fi movies, rock music, and Saturday morning cartoons — the kind of stories that stick with you long after the screen goes dark.
Our gaming roots run deep. We spent countless hours replaying the Final Fantasy series (I, IV, VI, VII, and VIII), endlessly debating which one was the best — a discussion that remains unresolved. Along the way, Nintendo classics like The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, The Guardian Legend, and Mario Bros. shaped how we think about worlds, characters, and storytelling.
Comics were just as influential. We grew up obsessed with Marvel — X-Men, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Gambit — where heroes were flawed, strange, and still worth rooting for. That mix of imagination, imperfection, and heart still drives everything we create.
The “critter” part came naturally. Our lives have always been filled with animals — especially dogs with personalities so big they felt like characters waiting to escape into a story. Real pets became fictional heroes. Characters became sketches. Sketches became stories. And those stories became a universe.
Atomic Critter Clothing is that universe — a character-driven world of mutated heroes, atomic misfits, chaotic animals, and half-broken legends that feel like they crawled out of a worn game cartridge or a dog-eared graphic novel. Every design has a backstory. Every drop is intentional. If we don’t genuinely love it, it doesn’t get released.
