Shea O’Connor
Hey! I’m Shea. I’m an illustrator and designer currently creating in Atlanta, Georgia. Using quirky color palettes, expressive linework and stylized silhouettes, my designs aim to blend a vintage style with modern values. While the subject matter of my art isn’t always serious—there’s always a lovel of whimsy or playfulness—I take my artwork very seriously. It’s of the utmost importance to me that my art’s message is kind, inclusive and positive. When I’m not drawing (a very rare occurrence), you can find me whistling, singing to my pets, dressing up, and gardening.
