Jordan Perme and Christopher Lees are a wife and husband team from Cleveland, Ohio. They are better known by their artist identity and company brand, Horrible Adorables. The duo met at the Cleveland Institute of Art where Jordan graduated with her BFA in Fiber & Material Studies, and Chris pursued training in the Fine Arts after completing his BS in Mechanical Engineering.

They are most recognized for their soft sculpture characters that possess both cartoonish and eerily realistic qualities. Their love of toys, monsters, fairy tales, taxidermy, patterns, and oddities has directly influenced their bright and whimsical style of work that tends to have a dark undertone. Their artwork focuses on depicting strange hybrid creatures from a fantastical world. Jordan and Chris bring their work to life by meticulously arranging patterns of felt scales onto sculpted forms and using an electrostatic flocking technique to add velvety textures.

Jordan and Chris have adapted their Horrible Adorables into illustrations and repeat patterns which are applied to a wide range of mediums and products. Their work can be found at art fairs, galleries, and boutiques across the globe.

In addition to Horrible Adorables, Chris consults on engineering projects and Jordan works as a freelance toy and textile designer. For an online portfolio and hiring info please visit:
