Shannon O'Malley is an advertising writer and urchin arts enthusiast in Oakland, CA. She conceived of GAY MEN DRAW VAGINAS with her friend Keith Wilson after watching him draw a vagina at a dinner, on a paper placemat.

She created APOCALYPSE CAKES as a 'zine which included 8 pages printed at a Kinko's and stapled at Shannon's ad agency. With urging from friends, she continued the project as a blog, photographed and co-produced by Keith.

Shannon's collaborator, Keith Wilson, is a filmmaker and artist based in San Francisco. His films have been exhibited at Sundance, the Berlinale, South by Southwest and the United States National Gallery of Art. He has an MFA in film production from the Radio-TV-Film Department at UT-Austin and grew up on a cul-de-sac in suburban Atlanta.
