Mug , HEADSTRONG : Anne Boleyn by Sammy Bird

A modern reimagining of Anne Boleyn — defiant, composed, and impossibly poised in the face of execution.

The title “Headstrong” carries a deliberate edge. A woman condemned for her will, her voice, and her refusal to be controlled — ultimately losing her head for it. Her final recorded words, “I hear say the executioner is very good, and I have a little neck,” reveal a sharp wit even at the scaffold.

The fluorescent graffiti cuts across Tudor formality like rebellion across history — bold, unapologetic, uncontained.

Headstrong.
Because she was.
Because they couldn’t silence her — even when they tried.

A piece about power, perception, and the dangerous strength of a woman who would not bend.
