A first design in The Artpin Collection's line of folk tale based pins. This one portrays the Big Bad Wolf of Little Red Riding Hood, presented on a plaque in a typical Horrible Adorables setup, with a little morbid twist... 

About the Artist

Horrible Adorables are the creations of Jordan Elise Perme and Christopher Lees; a wife and husband team from Cleveland, Ohio. They met at the Cleveland Institute of Art where Jordan graduated with her BFA in Fiber & Material Studies, and Chris was pursuing training in fine arts after completing his BS in Mechanical Engineering.
 
Jordan and Chris bring their soft sculptures to life by meticulously arranging patterns of felt scales onto hand carved forms. The resulting characters have qualities that are both cartoonish and eerily realistic at the same time. Horrible Adorables are strange hybrid creatures from a fantastical world. Their facial expressions and postures reveal recognizably human emotions.

About The Artpin Collection

The Artpin Collection is a curated series of pins by top artists from the worlds of designer toys, lowbrow, street art, illustration and more.

Robert R. ★★★★★

I've been collecting folk tale pins for a while, and the plaque setup on this one is way more detailed than I expected. The Big Bad Wolf design is genuinely clever, and the colors pop without looking cheap. It's the first one in a series, so I'm already watching for the next release.

Claire ★★★★★

The wolf's snout has this slightly matte finish that catches the light differently than the glossy red hood, which makes the whole plaque look hand-painted rather than mass produced. I pinned it to my denim jacket and the double posts keep it from spinning around, which drove me crazy with my old pi

Violet ★★★★★

The enamel fill on the red hood is so glossy it almost looks wet, and the plaque backing gives it a nice weight for a pin. I've had it on my jacket for two weeks and the clasp hasn't budged once.
