James Hough was born and raised in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Hough received a MFA from the University of Las Vegas, Nevada and co-founded—with artists David Ryan and Sean Slattery—Ripper Jordan, a collaborative art group. This art group made objects and pictures that both celebrated and mourned history, robots, love, science, animals, art, and humanity. Hough resides in Dallas, Texas and continues to work as an artist, illustrator, designer and front-end/UX web developer.
