Thinking about a King & Queen couple tattoo? Step out of the box with something like this!
Ash Ryan did an amazing job with these Queen and King couple tattoos, a Queen for her, and a King on his calf. Both a bit creepy but very elegant.
Duncan Whitfield is a talented realism tattooer working out of Southampton, U.K.
He mainly specializes in creating built-to-last portrait work, and is incredibly methodical about the entire process.
In this interview, I got the opportunity to talk with him about things such as the relationship between photography and tattooing, what makes a good reference photo and what does not, tattooing and mental health, and more.
Hope you guys enjoy the read, thanks for looking.
So I know that you are into wildlife photography, and like to incorporate it into your references. Can you talk a little bit about what goes on behind the scenes with all of that? What is the relationship you see between photography and tattooing?
I am a keen wildlife photographer, particularly birds. I’ve always had an interest in them ever since I was a kid. I believe that knowing how birds behave and interact with each other helps when it comes to composition. To make it believable. I like to use my photographs wherever I can as I get a real sense of achievement from taking a photograph right through to a completed tattoo. It means there’s a much more personal touch to the tattoo for the client as well.
Birds have to be one of the hardest things to photograph though. There are so many factors that have to be considered. There’s the knowledge of your camera equipment, geography, weather, species, time of day, timing and luck. Everything has to align just right to get the perfect shot off. Then the subject has to play ball. It has to be close enough, the right position and of course the lighting has to be right. Of all the photos I’ve taken, not as many as I would like have ended up as tattoos. It’s an ongoing journey. One that is really rewarding.
On that same subject, what makes a good reference photo for a tattoo, and vice versa – what characteristics of a photo tell you that it would NOT make a good tattoo?
Ultimately it will come down to contrast and emotion. With a portrait that will be a facial expression and with wildlife that’s likely to be movement. And in both instances, the eye level/contact with the lens can clinch one image over another.
In a portrait you don’t want an image that when converted to black-and-white has no contrast and appears flat. There are things I can do to adjust the levels and values to suit but I would only go so far before it will start to look odd and not translate well to a tattoo. I always push provisional clients to provide me with the best reference before I book them in for an appointment. I believe that not all portraits should be tattooed. I’m always very upfront with regards to this. Just because an image makes a good photograph, does not mean it will make a good tattoo. It is always worth pushing back for better reference when it comes to personal portraits. Ultimately you want the very best result. I don’t expect prospective clients to understand this criteria before they engage with me, it is my job to guide them towards the best possible outcome. This should be the case for any tattooist taking on portraits in my opinion.
I also know that you used to be a professional graphic designer. In what ways has that given you a leg up on your tattooing career? What’s one really important thing to keep in mind when working on something digitally to be incorporated into a tattoo?
I was a graphic designer for 13 years. That time spent behind a computer designing promotional material in the corporate world has given me an invaluable knowledge of digital image manipulation platforms. Predominantly Photoshop and illustrator. Both of which have proved to be my day to day staple when it comes to tattoo composition. Composition itself is such a huge part of graphic design that it was only natural that the experience in this field would translate well and benefit tattoo design.
One thing it is really important to remember when creating digital stencils is to pay attention to the dpi. If you’re making a line drawing over a 72dpi image that is say only 100mm square and you need to print it to fit A4 size, you’re going to end up with blurred lines when printed to make a stencil as you’ll have to enlarge the image over 200% to make it big enough. Make sure the image you are using is physically big enough to pull it off. Oh and of course pay attention to which layer you’re drawing on! We’ve all been caught out by that!
Aside from the physical toll it must take on your body day after day, what have you found to be the most challenging part of being a tattoo artist?
I would say time. There’s never enough time. It can be all consuming. Design. Clean. Set up. Tattoo. Clear up. Clean. Admin. When you’re all in, you’re committed. I have a better balance now but for a long time I was just blinkered. Personal relationships definitely suffered. Both at home and at work. I have to take a large part of the blame for that for sure. But it’s an easy situation to find yourself in, you know? When things are going well. Ferris Bueller was right though, You do need to stop and take a look around once in while.
If the Covid-19 situation has taught us anything, for me, it would be that it’s dangerous to be all consumed by one thing. Because if you take that away, you’re left with nothing. Thankfully I have a million hobbies and interests to keep me occupied…oh and a wife… and a daughter to squabble with… and of course anyone following me on instagram will have seen my dog; José feature in my stories I’m sure!
How about the most rewarding part?
I think it’s with the personal portraits of recently lost loved ones and pets. There’s definitely been some emotional moments with clients with the big reveal. It has to be that or what I touched on in the first question. Taking a photo out in nature and bringing it right through to a finished tattoo.
If you could now go back to when you first started tattooing and tell yourself three important things you wish you knew back then, what might those be?
Not to teach yourself to tattoo for one. Like I did. It’s a much longer laborious process than an apprenticeship. It was a means to an end for me but I would always recommend an apprenticeship now. You’ll grow faster and with authenticity.
Give yourself a break, don’t say yes to everything just to please other people. It’s so easy to burn out and it creeps up on you. You can’t please everyone. Trying to is the quickest route to failure. Don’t worry about booking yourself too far ahead. I know this can be a bit of an obsession for security in the early days but it can quickly get out of hand and before you know it you’re working 6 day weeks with no breaks.
What about three things you wish each of your clients/collectors knew, in order to save you both the headaches?
Approach enquiring about a tattoo as you would any other professional service. DM-ing me with ‘Hey Bro, I wanna get tatted ASAP. I’m desperate bro. Get me in bro.” will just get your message deleted. There seems to be a direct correlation between not following instructions and then radio silence if you do reply to that request. Many artists are very busy and it’s disheartening to answer requests to ghosting so you quickly develop a sixth sense to time wasters. It’s not meant to cause offense to prospective clients, it’s more about protecting your own mental resolve. There’s only so many minutes in a day and we have to make them as productive as possible. I take all my enquiries via email so there is a paper trail of the conversation. It definitely avoids confusion. My advice is keep communication to one platform.
Pay attention to the style in which the artist you’re enquiring with, works. Is what you’re asking for going to suit their style? If someone emails me with a request that’s not suited to me I’ll always try and match them up with another artist better suited.
Always state the position of the tattoo, ideally a photo of the area and as much reference/information as possible. Steer clear of sending an essay with very specific instructions of how it MUST all fit together. A good clear idea will suffice.
How has tattooing impacted your mental health? If you feel inclined, maybe list a few pros and a few cons.
I would say at times tattooing has had a profound affect on my mental health. With regards to emotional pressures and the conflict between business and relationships. I didn’t see either coming at the time. I do a lot of memorial portraits and one particular week I took on 3 very recent bereavements and 2 memorial pet portraits all in the space of 5 days. That actually hit me harder than I expected. I was already suffering from mild depression at the time and that was definitely a trigger. I now try to never book too many together and have breaks in between. That would be something I would advise to anyone.
Its very easy to get burned out when you’re working 6 days a week. There’s more demand on your time than you bargain for when you have a bit of a waiting list. You want to keep everyone happy, your clients and personal relationships alike. It’s a balancing act I definitely got it wrong at times. I’ve brought my waiting list down now just so I can see the wood for the trees. I always keep a week free every month. It allows me to have space to move people if I need to, take time off or at the very least I know there’s a fire break not too far away. It also allows you to take on projects you’d like to do that you might miss out on if you’re booked solid for a year. I always advise artists new into the industry to be careful not to over book. It’s all about security in the early days when you’re building a profile for yourself. But that becomes a bit of a trap quite quickly.
I’ve now managed to separate tattooing from home life more successfully. I try and keep the 2 as separate as possible. For me, that’s important.
Tattooing has blown up since the age of social media. In what ways do you expect to see the industry to change over the course of the next few years? What do you hope to see?
Im really not sure. I could see more private studios cropping up. Social media has allowed people to gain a client base with less reliance for the need of exposure gained working in a highstreet outfit that would have been needed before ‘the Gram’ hit the scene. A smaller more intimate space will have much lower overheads. On the flip side, the social dynamic in a bigger studio is more conducive to creativity I find. I like to bounce ideas off of other artists when I can. You grow slower on your own. You have to work harder for inspiration.
As far as what I’d like to see? I’d like to see easier travel options for artists. I don’t know how it would work logistically, with regards to visas etc but a more official, easier way of working abroad would be awesome. To see the industry recognised for the progressive art form that it is. Acceptance has come a long way but there’s always room for improvement.
And lastly…I’m always curious about these two things: how might you prepare for your typical full day session (I can imagine they must be very tiring), and what’s usually going through your mind as you work on each tattoo?
As I mentioned about keeping tattooing separate from home life, I usually do most of my design work in the studio. I ‘try’ to get into the studio for 08:30 after dropping my daughter at school and my dog at day care and arrange for clients to arrive for 10:30/11. That gives 2-2hr:30mins to prepare for the day. I’m big on the client experience. I want clients to leave having had a great day even if the tattoo hurt like hell! I think good entertainment is vital for client comfort and makes a huge difference to how well people sit. I’ve only ever had 4 people pass out on me and I believe that’s all down to the environment you provide the client with. Nervous first time clients need time to acclimatise in my opinion. I delay being ready for them so they have time to get into a film and relax with a hot drink and snacks. As far as what’s going through my mind? Just about everything! Ha! I’m very methodical once I start tattooing. The design process is the creative bit for me, the tattooing is the idea execution. I’m quite relaxed once I start.
Thanks to anyone who took the time to read/look, hope you guys enjoyed the write-up.

Interview with the “Plastic Star” dancer famed for her performance in a Maneskin video, ready to make art with her tattooed body right across the board.
Francesca, where does “Plastic Star” come from?
The choice of a stage name came by chance. I had to choose a nickname so I could sign up to an online photography platform and obviously my real name had already been taken by someone else. At that moment I had Dente’s ‘Babybuilding’ on loop, the one with the line “plastic star”… so that was that, really!
Pure chance?
No, my Daemon chose that name. And ever since I’ve had great respect for my soul. A soul that was able to make a space for itself in my enormous ego.
So it’s something positive then.
Right. Art gave me the freedom to use my ego on stage in such a way as to take a weight off the person who lives behind the character.
Let’s talk about music videos. You’ve made plenty and with many different artists (Maneskin, Vega Jones, Litfiba, Nitro, Fedez & Mika, AmbraMarie etc.). What makes you choose one video over another?
Well, first and foremost, there’s certainly the question of art: there has to be a need at the back of it. A need that can be satisfied through a quest that has its aesthetic, technical and emotional side. Otherwise I would not feel involved at all.
So instinct matters in situations like that?
Absolutely. For my part I’ve got a really artistic approach in the choices I make, but most of the time I let my instinct lead me. You know, over time I’ve learned how important it is to be able to listen, in total empathy and open to what is outside. And at this stage I hear it loud and clear when the right choice comes along.
So far the metal scene hasn’t been beating down your door as far as videos are concerned: don’t you find that a bit odd?
You can say that again! And to think that one of all time favourites is ‘Snuff’ by Slipknot, and that was written by a metal band! My hope is that after this interview I’ll become the new icon of heavy metal!
What does it feel like to garner 159 million views (official YouTube data) for Maneskin’s video ‘Torna a casa’? I guess a performer feels more self-assured and sure of what they’ve got after that kind of a breakthrough?
I have to be totally honest with you: there are the pros and cons to having your image associated with big brands! From that moment on anyone will tend to associate you with that particular brand which leads their competitors to avoid choosing you in the future because basically, you stand for the competition.
And anyway, as far as the Maneskin video is concerned, getting my character out there – and by “my” character I mean 100% created by me – that helped me no end to raise the bar of generosity.
Why do you speak of generosity?
Because it is a fundamental quality for an artist, otherwise you’d be in danger of keeping everything safe inside so nobody would ever be able to enjoy that creation.
How do you see yourself in that regard?
I’m someone who creates a lot but shows very little. As if I didn’t want to expose what is most precious within me, place it at the mercy of the world. Analysing this trait of mine I came to the conclusion that there is no point being afraid and there’ll always be different points of view which can lead to a new awareness. Basically, right now my permanent flow of consciousness continues uninterrupted.
What does it feel like to be artistically “crucified” as happened to you in your performance ‘Della materia della passione’ (Of the matter of the passion)?
Great question. Let’s say first and foremost that this performance in particular arose out of my wish to put myself at the service of a “character” with life experiences very different from my own but which, metaphorically speaking, coincided with my own ideas about religion. In that case however, very few picked up on the references to Christian penitence. In the sense of those practices which actually exist in Christianity in order to expiate guilt and redeem the sinner.
Are you in any way religious?
Even though I grew up in a Christian family, I don’t like to belong to any sect or church. My intention, when I worked on ‘Della materia della passione’, was not to offend, but rather to open myself up to further inner searching.
I feel it’s important to emphasise this because many people saw that performance as “blasphemous”!
Ah, one final thing: that interpretation taught me that I am not particularly predisposed to being tied up. And that carrying a cross required considerable strength!
Is there any artist (in music, cinema, theatre, conceptual art, etc.) for whom you would perform free of charge?
My dream projects would include: Thom Yorke, Arca, FKA Twigs, Björk, David Lynch, Eduardo Casanova and Teho Teardo. Maybe I’ve forgotten someone, but these are definitely gods as far as I’m concerned.
Your all-time music album?
I could never get tired of listening to Thom Yorke’s Anima.
After your part as Lynn in the film Curse of the Blind Dead directed by Raffaele Picchio, can you see yourself pursuing a career in horror movies?
I definitely want to get plenty more experience in horror films. Partly because I have a natural predisposition for expressing sentiments like unease and anxiety; partly because I simply adore horror and splattter. My favourite movies? The ones that deal with exorcisms.
How come?
Well, because they’re weird films, really close to the possibility that certain situations could really happen. And then I’m fascinated to know that I could be chosen by a demon. Have to lend it my body so that it could do what it wants. Let’s put it this way: I have such an artistic approach to life that in order to satisfy this need of mine to search and know my deepest Self, well, I’d even be prepared to allow myself be possessed by a demon!

Now a day’s choosing the best spine tattoos for women are a tiresome task as you have to go through tones of designs. But after you read this article your problem will be solved. Here we have showcased 27 best spine tattoos ideas and designs from which you can choose your favorite one. So let’s have a look at them.
So, the article above has explained the tattoo down the spine for you. Are you can use all of these tattoo designs? Of course, this spine tattoos for women will be very cool. There designs those are only suitable for women and some for men. Some simple designs are more suitable for women, but other people with complicated ideas will be suitable for men.
If you have any other incredible designs with you just tell us via comments and if it is good we’ll add it to our list. Also, drop your thoughts about the above-given tattoos down the spine.
Is it true that women feel less pain than men? If you are going to get your first tattoo, then you might be a little hurt. In fact, it does. So, would you think whether the spine tattoos are painful or hurts? But there are several factors that depend. In these articles, we will go through that several factors that come into play depending on how much it is painful.
Before you are going to the parlor you can ask your friends who got a tattoo already. She may say that getting spine tattoos for women is not that painful. The reply might be so because of various reasons. It’s been a long time since she got tattoos down the spine. Or her tattoo might be on a spot where it didn’t hurt much.
Actually, the pain while getting tattoos will vary with person to person. It depends on how much pain one can tolerate. It also depends greatly on the tattooing artist. They may use instruments or devices with fewer needles, so your pain will be less. This applies to anyone, including spine tattoos for women and men everywhere.
So modern instruments are available and if they are using such devices, you will not be hurt much. But, the pain to spine tattoos for women cannot avoid completely. This is because you are going to alter your skin deeply with special types of inks.
Tattooing involves injecting the ink into two layers of her skin. The needle has to enter her skin deeply several times in order to get the tattoos down the spine perfectly. How much she hurt during the process depends on her tolerance and her mental state.
When you are completely ready to tolerate the pain and you are mentally prepared then you may not feel much discomfort during tattooing.
So, the factors are depending on the pain level of everyone. The main factor is fear, for that, you must be sure. But here I have written five pain factors when making spine tattoos for women. Let’s see below:
If you’ve got a larger tattoo, obviously the pain will be intense. Generally, tattoos down the spine are a bit larger when compared to other tattoos. A larger tattoo requires more ink and more needle pricks. Since this spine tattoos for women are usually longer, it needs more time, more needle pricks and more time you have to lie in the bed.
As I told earlier, the pain level greatly depends on the spot where you are about to get inked. This is not only true for spine tattoos for women. But, generally, bony areas don’t necessarily hurt more. And tender spots like inner thigh, inner arms etc are prone to intense pain.
If you are a healthy person, then tattooing is not at all a big deal. But if she is not sure those you can tolerate the pain, never use any kind of drugs or alcohol before going to get the spine tattoos for women. Scientifically, alcohol and drugs to make your blood thinner and it will lead to increased bleeding and it will consequently end up in worst conditions. So never ever seek any methods to reduce pain.
It depends on a man. But the artist says that women feel less pain than men. We can’t say that this is absolutely correct. We already mentioned the factors are depending on the pain level.
Are tattoos down the spine painful? Yeah…they are. I have already told you the reasons. The spine tattoos for women are usually longer and it takes more skin pricks and time. So you have to tolerate the pain for more time than other tattoos.
But whatever it is. If you are crazy about getting tattoos down the spine, then proceed. The only thing is that you have to tolerate pain for some time and you’ll be done. Actually, this article is not intended to motivate her from getting spine tattoos for women, but for general awareness for beginners.
We hope you have got nice information about tattoos down the spine you want.

Baby angel tattoos, which are often known as “cherub” tattoos, are a popular design for both men and women
These tattoos feature a small, winged and often chubby figure of a baby or young child with angelic features
Baby angel tattoos are a popular choice for people looking to express their love for their children, their faith or simply as a symbol for innocence and purity
In this article we will dive into the background and history of this subject, as well as their popularity as tattoo designs
Baby angels have been a popular subject for centuries in the art world, dating back to Ancient Greece and Rome
The word “cherub” is derived from the Hebrew word “kerub”, which means “to bless”
In art, cherubs are regularly depicted as chubby infants or young children with wings and halos, to symbolize innocence and purity
In Christian art, cherubs are regularly associated with the archangels Gabriel, Michael and Raphael, who are believed to be the protectors of children and the messengers of God
During the Renaissance period cherubs became a popular subject in art with artists such as Michaelangelo and Raphael (the artists, not the Turtles!) incorporating them into their painting and sculptures
In the Borque period artists such as Gian Lorenzo Bernini made the cherub an even more popular subject by including them in their elaborate sculptures
In modern times, baby angel tattoos have become a popular design for tattoos
People often choose this design as a symbol of love, innocence and protection
Baby angel tattoos can be done in a variety of styles
A realistic baby angel tattoo features a detailed and somewhat lifelike depiction of the subject
Attention is given to every detail, from the tiny fingers and toes to the chubby cheeks – depending on the design
These tattoos are mainly done in black and grey with shading used to create a “realistic” effect for the final piece
This is a great choice for someone who wants a larger tattoo that’s both beautiful and meaningful
Baby angel tattoos in this style often feature bold lines and bright colors
These are often done in the “American Traditional” style, with the baby angel depicted with wings and a halo
These are a popular choice for those looking for a baby angel tattoo with a timeless look
A minimal baby angel tattoo is one where the design is created with simple, clean lines and sometimes light shading
These are well suited to smaller tattoos and because of their size, can be placed pretty much anywhere on the body

Tammy is a beautiful girl from Germany who loves her job as hairdresser, with a passion for modelling. She doesn’t like to hide but she likes to express herself in every way she can, through tattoos or in a photographic shooting, her body like a canvas expressing art. And she always reminds herself never to lose her light even in the darkest times.
Hello Tammy where are you from and how old are you?
Hi, I‘m from Germany and 25 years old!
What do you do for a living?
I‘m a hairdresser, blonde and balayage specialist.
“Dismissive, unfair and probabily mean”:these are the words you chose to describe yourself on your IG page. What do they mean?
That’s a funny story: I was a rebellious teen, often very cynical and sarcastic. I didn’t want to be mean but sometimes I couldn’t help myself and my friends often made fun of it.
I loved Grey‘s Anatomy at the time and I remember a doctor quoting this and it was in my description ever since, even if I‘m a different human today.
What are your main interests and how would you describe your personality?
I love to immerse myself in all things related to beauty so I love doing make-up for myself and to other people as I feel I still have much to learn but I think I do quite a good job. I also have a passion for modelling for photoshoots, because I feel as I can fully be myself and don’t have to hide. I would describe myself as an introvert with social skills but when I get to know someone I can be really goofy actually.
Let’s talk about your tattoos, can you describe them?
It‘s a mix of different tattoo styles. Some are Traditional, some are Neo Traditional or some kind of old school. I also have 2 blackwork pieces, which I love. I don’t want to stick to only one style because there are so many great artists and styles in this world. I think that my body is like a canvas which wants to have art on it.
I have a bug framed by a mandala on my underarm. It was the first one and the most meaningful paired with the fox on my leg. They remind me of my childhood, because I loved to explore the woods. They were my home, my save space and happy place.
The snake on my arm and the raven on my leg represent the darker times in my life.
My favorite one is the lantern on my inner arm, because it reminds me to never lose my light even in the darkest times.
Why did you decide to get tattooed?
I loved the aesthetics of tattoos since I was a little girl and was always fascinated by it. My skin was covered in glittery and colorful adhesive tattoos most of the time. I waited until I was 18 because I wanted my first tattoo to be meaningful.
What does tattoo represent for you?
For me it represents personality. It‘s also special to me because I can wear this great art like my favorite dress every day and forever.
What about the tattoo artists who did them, how did you choose them?
My first tattoos were made by an artist from Erfurt, later by their (at that time) tattoo apprentice who is still a friend and my tattoo artist (@satanischepferde). My newest tattoo is from my boyfriend who is also an incredible tattoo artist (@kidviciousz).
I chose them because of their fantastic talent. My best friend took me to his favourite tattoo studio in Erfurt and I knew it was a perfect fit. I saw their art and directly wanted some of them on my skin. I found my now boyfriend on instagram and was blown away by his talent. That he‘s now my partner in crime it is the cherry on top. More tattoos are in the planning!
And to close this chat, your motto is?
Just be yourself, don’t let anyone tear you down. Don’t let people question your dreams and wishes and go get that tattoo!

Sometimes we find a tattoo artist, whose work inspires us. And, if we are fortunate then we get a chance to interview them. A few days back, I came across the Instagram profile of Dokhwa. She is an inspiring Tattoo artist from South Korea. Her tattoo style is color realism and she usually works on portraits and pets. Let’s see her responses to our Interview questions and get to know more about her.
I didn’t study art, but I was interested in drawing.
When I was 20, I got my first tattoo.
The artist who gave me a tattoo looked cool. So I became interested, At 22, I decided to become a tattoo artist.
I have a lot of tattoos on my body. My favorite is this dead bird tattoo. This tattoo is by one of my favorite artists, @oozy_tattoo.
He’s been an artist I’ve admired and liked since I started tattooing. He’s a famous artist, and there’s a lot to learn from him. So I like this tattoo the most!
This is a collaboration with one of my favorite friends and artists, @tattooist_yeono.
It was a time when we both loved working with animation, I was working on black and she was working on color.
We thought it would be so cool to collaborate on it. That took a long time, probably 17 hours. But we had a lot of fun doing it, and it was meaningful!
I draw with Oil paint or colored pencils. That’s improved me further. And I enjoy my own time and get energy! Or I watch a movie or meet a friend.
I think it’s because they leave meaningful things on the body. Favorite things, people, unforgettable memories, pets, anything that is meaningful to them, I think people remember them for the rest of their lives when they see them as tattoos on their bodies. I’m the same!
My favorite artist is @oozy_tattoo.
When I started tattooing, I saw his work. I’m so into his work, it was my favorite style!
He is a famous and talented artist. The design is awesome. I told him I loved his work, and he gave me a tattoo. He’s nice, and there’s a lot to learn from him.
I am designing by adding pop art, illustration, etc. based on portraits. I love looking at different works of art. So I want to represent them with tattoos, by creating my style!
I think in the future there will be a lot of marketing around tattoos. Also, I think there will be more talented artists.
And tattoos are still illegal in Korea. Recently, many artists are campaigning for legalization. I think tattoos will be legal in Korea in the future!
Editor Note: I hope this comes true. Tattoos are an art form and should be appreciated.
I’m working on pets right now, but I love doing portrait work too! and I’m interested in pop art, illustration, and a lot of other things.
So I’ll be an artist with my style, specializing in portraiture.
Post Malone! I like Post Malone’s music, and he has a lot of tattoos. I don’t have a specific design in mind, I want to do something meaningful for him.
Editor Note: I think he is an Inspiration for Tattoo artists. He has 70+ tattoos on his body, you can check them out at Post Malone Tattoos.
You can contact me through my Instagram profile and also through email.
Editor Note: Dokhwa is very passionate about Tattooing and we are sure she will be one of the most popular Tattoo artists in the future. We wish her all the luck and would love to see more of her work.
