Hello!
My name is Sam Shainoff, and I’m an Illustrator & Designer currently residing in Columbus, Ohio.
I started attending the Columbus College of Art & Design in 2017, and graduated in 2021 with a BFA in Illustration. During my time there, I explored a variety of art styles & career paths and found that I enjoyed myself in so many of them. I especially love to work with Illustration + Comics, Visual Development, and Product Design. I’m most inspired by bright, vibrant, and colorful themes; often creating art that celebrates the happy and bubbly things in life!
​
In 2015, I started creating licensed art for products and official merchandise. My first design sold in stores was a My Little Pony shirt (Derpy & Doctor Whooves!) that could be found in HotTopic! You can also find my work in the My Little Pony TCG series. Later, my work was featured at Tennocon on mousepads and hoodies, sold by ForFansByFans and licensed with Digital Extremes for the online game "Warframe", with additional work later done for cold cups. I've also done toy design, with previous clients Toynk Toys. In the winter of 2024, I was commissioned by SEGA to illustrate their Holiday Art piece~
When not busy with client work, I run my own online shop and sell at various conventions across the United States!
