Don't Trust Her - Drypoint Print

Don’t Trust Her is a 30 × 30 cm drypoint print commissioned by the band Skankt for the single release Don’t Trust Her (2023). Printed on Fabriano Rosaspina paper using Akua soya-based ink. Only four were printed.

The image draws inspiration from the witch in Sleeping Beauty, reinterpreting the motif of temptation through the apple — a symbol that also nods to the story of the Garden of Eden. The composition combines dark, atmospheric imagery with expressive linework, evoking themes of allure, danger, and moral tension.
