Hello there. Somehow you've stumbled upon the internet home of Shannon Palmer (that's me!) This is where I put all of my illustrations, design work, photography, blogs, podcasts, and favorite mp3s.

I'm a 33 year old artist-type who loves Smashing Pumpkins, my ibook, guitars/drums, Coca-cola, chocolate, knitting, screenprinting, building, learning, reading, typography, Lost, tattoos, The Decemberists, The Shins, Bright Eyes, David Bowie, John Lennon...I could go on for days about all of the things and the people I love.

I'm a mom and a wife, a new homeowner (well, in the process at least), a graphic designer for a local newspaper, illustrator for daytrotter.com, a loyal friend, a nerd, a tomboy, a stress-eater, a talker.

This website is my outlet...for everything. It's not some serious portfolio site, it's just me. I hope you enjoy.




Smashing Pumpkins live at Rock Am Ring

I recorded the pumpkins at the Rock Am Ring festival in Germany, June 2, 2007. It was a pretty great performance. The Pumpkins are back.


Ima Robot: Lovers In Captivity

I came across this video by Ima Robot and have watched it about a million times now. The song has invaded my brain and won't go away. Men in fishnets, yeah.

The Decemberists

Colin Meloy is the first person since Billy Corgan to really excite me with his ability to craft a song. His lyrics are amazing. Oh, how I love the Decemberists.
