Shane Houston Artist Bio

Shane is an American Illustrator, Gallery Artist and Award-Winning Graphic Designer known for his unique illustration style with it’s bright colors, bold textures, striking compositions and his angular “straight-line” drawing technique.

Even as a child, Shane was always creating and drawing. He was captivated by the colorful worlds of Saturday morning cartoons, taking inspiration from the vibrant classics of the 1980’s. These animated influences sparked a lifelong love for visual storytelling that would carry him to a design career in the film industry. Shane loves to create his own characters and settings that evoke a sense of fun, playfulness and a bit of his cheeky sense of humor. He is drawn to subjects that are magical and fantastic with a hint of adventure!

His work has been described as a perfect blend of playful energy with the sophistication and simplicity of mid-century design, creating artwork that is both fun and refined. Shane creates his unique characters and scenes entirely in Illustrator. Custom-made fonts and brushes further enhance the singularity of his work. Today he works as a Freelance Illustrator, creating from his home studio with his husband and two asian pure-breed cats Toki and Todo in Austin, TX.
