About Susan Spangler

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, observer and survivor. My website, www.susanspangler.com, contains a wide portfolio of my projects and images – some for pay, most for love, many for both. These graphic essays are inspired by things that catch my eye, my ear, my heart. Funny, confounding, astounding and encouraging, all at once. You know. Life.

  Thank you SO much, Patty! It’s been months – MONTHS! – since the blog muse paid me a visit. But, as I’m sure you know, inspiration takes is own time and can arise from surprising sources – and this experience has yielded some unexpected delights. Cheers– s.

Hi. Your story made me laugh and brighten my day. Mmn. Maybe I’ll go get some purple dye. I read your review of tales of their lives – I have a piece in it – then followed the link to your blog. Anyway hace a good Christmas any new year. Caroline

Susan! I absolutely love this! It made me smile from deep within because everything you said is so true! It definitely brought light into my life not only because purple happens to be my favorite color but because you smile so wonderfully every time someone asks or comments on your hair. That smile and sincere appreciation is what leaves a lasting memory. You are a light within reflected, currently, by your amazing and spontaneous hair color. I adore it! Thank you for sharing.
