Her Version
Can you spot thirteen hidden 13’s ?
Her Version by Cynthia Sidlauskas (that’s me!) is a 12x12 print of my original digital drawing featuring Taylor Swift. This high-quality print is crafted on matte cardstock and includes a personal note from the artist (yep, me again 😅).
To keep your print safe during transit, it will be wrapped in a protective sleeve with a cardboard backing and shipped securely in a sturdy envelope.
This artwork came from a really tender place. Watching Taylor reclaim something that was once hers and make it even more meaningful struck a chord in me. It reminded me that healing can be creative—that sometimes, taking back your story means rewriting it in your own handwriting. “Her Version” is my little tribute to that kind of strength, softness, and reinvention.
Some insights on the artwork itself:
T.V. stands for Taylor’s Version, referring to Taylor’s re-recording project of her early music.
As a huge Swiftie, this piece was a true labor of love—it took 103.5 hours of work on my iPad using Procreate.
I drew inspiration from both the original 2014 1989 album cover and the 2023 re-recorded version, incorporating nods like the ‘escaping’ seagulls.
The moment captured here is from the night Taylor announced 1989 (Taylor’s Version) during the Eras Tour on August 10, 2023. I was miles away, watching through a low-res TikTok livestream, but the moment—Taylor embracing her creative freedom, surrounded by fans—moved me deeply.
Hidden throughout the artwork are thirteen instances of the number 13, a symbol close to Taylor’s heart. How many can you find?
