THEY SAID IT
"Never mind the iPod... The boxed set lives" Jon Pareles, NY Times
Susan is one of the... "fanatics known for reinventing box sets
as objets d'art" Spin
Her work... "makes any other that came before it look like it was
made with construction paper and crayons... " Othermusic
"Over the top, hard to read with small type printed on brown paper... what were they thinking?" R.Crumb
"Table of the Element's (Jeff) Hunt and Atlanta designer Susan Archie often construct remarkable art simply in the process of putting something on the (retail) shelf.... In a sea of releases covered with standard portraits in standard jewelcases, the effect is like hearing the work 'f@(k.' In a church. On Sunday..." Signal-to-Noise, Summer 2006
"Our book looks wonderful! Really warms my heart. Really. I can't think of any other production we've ever done that is this special... intimate, informative, beautiful. It's a complete meal! I'm so happy." Nora Guthrie
"As usual, your work is unbeatable!! You are, indeed, the very best that there is." Larry Cohn
"Your ego and your overarching sense of entitlement are grotesque... You are so obnoxious." Jeff Hunt
"Packaging that you make is very good. We like to have good art for release of our guitar action music record but it is difficult with only little money. One day we hope to make record with box packaging." Chang Wording Girl
"If you let your head get too big, it will break your neck." Elvis Presley
