To Be or Not to Be Susan is really the question.  If I could, I would.  I'm always fascinated with Susan's bold style and imagination. 

Always a real joy.  Thank you Susan

PS: Happy…

This is what I call drawing blood. Where does Susan get these brilliant ideas?  What a mind.  Ink to paper, and maybe a little blood added too.  That's what it is all about.

I hope to someday get the chance to make a video of Susan making her creations.  Until then,…

Normally I can come up with a title for Susan's work.  Not that they need titles, but most of them just speak to me.  However, this one had me running in my shoes.

So I looked at the back and Susan's words of wisdom rang in my ear; Red Ambassador arrived in Paris.

This might be code for some, but Susan and I know the score.

Thank you again Susan,…

Thank you girls a…

Don't ask me why, but I always think of "Susans" as these sweet ladies who go out and have tea & cookies at 3pm and have conversations some what like this one: "Would you like another cookie dear?", "Oh no I couldn't, one cookie is outrageous already" , "So what did you do yesterday?" , "I made some mail art to send to Dean" , "Lovely, Lovely, do you think we could see it?"  "Well of course, here it is:"…

     Susan is now very keen to put her own titles on her Mail Art.  She knows that if she doesn't, I'll come up with some an absurd name for it.

     This time she nearly covered all of her bases, but still it could be seen as Dean squared, but that would go beyond any ones imagination.  So this one is called Dean 2 although I can still spell it wrong.

Another kewl one from Susan in her signature black/red scheme, love her drawings!!!

What a great portrait. It's full of teeth, raw energy and passion. 

Here's a lovely collage from my friend in Switzerland, Janine Weiss…

I like Susan, she always leaves it to me to come up with a title for her art work.  It's like being a consultant, but without the high salary.  Then again, Mail Art like this is well worth the effort.

   My hunch is that Susan knows what she is doing, and has a trained background in drawing.   

Thank you Susan, you're amazing, and love your…

From Svenja...a collage of a God, I really like the foreign word background page, too bad I'm a stupid American who has yet to master even my own language ;)

muscles and sweet wishes too First time getting mail from Susan McAllister.  She sent a wonderful…

I received this one from Susan last week and it has been sitting on my desk since.  It just sits there looking at me.  For some reason I like to find names for Mail Art.  Susan doesn't name her pieces of art, and this gives me the opportunity to name it for her.  So after a week I came up with several names.  Unknown, Untitled, and stringing in the rain.  But in the end I thought…

One of Susan's lively red-white-black mail arts, with whimsy and style: 

And a nice note on the back, too. Thank you very much, Susan ~

Thank you ladies for these two wide range art pieces ... and the third piece?

"Man surpised when seeing one of my Mail art pieces and saying BAR Code!"  by Susan McAllister.  Includes a real live bar code on the back. (not picuted, too graphic)

Creature of the Month from Svenja Wahl, but wait, is that the creature of the year I see below?…
