A young girl whose face is dripping with watermelon juice, a penguin blissfully gliding on ice... Willo O'Brien's illustrations take you back to carefree childhood days when your imagination knew no borders. She is the ink behind WilloToons, offering cartoon illustration, animation, Web and Flash design. Willo's drawings can set a mood or scene with just a few lines in a light, fun style that is ideal for the youth market.
As unique as she is versatile, Willo's projects for her many corporate clients demonstrate her more serious side. As a Web and Flash designer, she successfully distills the essence of a company, client or event and turns it into a clean design.
Prior to venturing out on her own, Willo worked as a Web, Flash and Graphic Designer for several Silicon Valley- and San Francisco-based studios, including Fine Brand Media, Spunky Productions, Asia Web Networks, and Care2.com.
In her most recent position as the lead Web and Flash Designer at Fine Brand Media she designed for corporate clients such as SGI, Fujitsu, First Republic Bank and BrassRing. She's honed her skills by working with both artistic and corporate clients, and today, she is a fervent Flash evangelist who values clean design and intuitive interfaces.
In her spare time, Willo also mentors a group of teen writers, artists and techies who produce their own site, http://www.bamboozled.org/. She enjoys many other activities, including listening to music, snowboarding, and pickle-eating.
Willo lives with her fuzzy kitty, Kazoo, in a sunny little garden flat in San Francisco.

Orna Ben-Shoshan: Artist Statement
As an auto-deduct artist, my work is not attached to any particular location or timeframe, and it’s free from any familiar set of rules. My creation is a medium of transferring knowledge about things that are beyond linear time and thinking.
It is said that observing metaphysical art induces lucidity and reduces stress. Many people who view my artwork comment that they can deeply connect to what they see, even though they do not necessarily understand it. In others it simply evokes positive and uplifting feelings as they are influenced by it subconsciously. Read More...
