Tatum Rochin runs The Tucson Type, creating beautiful art and illustrations in the desert city just south of our own hometown. Tatum's work brings her love for Tucson, art, traveling, nature, and so much more to life. We're thrilled to launch a limited-edition label featuring some perfect little doodles, which have us daydreaming of autumn adventures.
Read on to learn more about Tatum's work and process, and shop the limited-edition candle here, while supplies last!
Why do you create? I create because I love to celebrate Tucson through art and community. There are so many beautiful things around us and I try to capture that by creating different designs. Also, creating is fun! Who doesn’t love a unique way to show your viewpoint of the world and what you love? My ideas can come to life on paper when I create and that brings me a lot of joy.
How do you bring art into your everyday? I like bringing in small pieces of art into everyday life, like a pair of handmade clay earrings from a local artist or a fun sticker for my notebook. My fiance and I also enjoy collecting coffee-table books that feature art, interior design, or whatever else we’re into at the moment, and seeing those books is a fun way to bring art into our house and we get to change it up regularly which keeps things interesting.
What gets you super excited about life? Trying new things! In our house we have a thing we do every year which we call Fifty-Two New. This is where we challenge ourselves to try fifty-two new things every year. It sounds like a lot but they can be little things like trying a new local restaurant or visiting a park. Sometimes they’re bigger experiences like traveling to a different state or ziplining. Whatever the experience is, trying new things and experiences with people I love gets me excited about life.
Do you have a favorite artist? If so, who and why? It’s hard to pick a favorite because I feel like I’m finding things all the time that I love. But some of my favorite childhood books were illustrated by David Christiana, so that will always be some of my favorite art. His illustrations on magical fairies are so whimsical and I have fond memories of reading those books and looking at the art with my sister.
What’s your favorite place to get inspired? This might be cliche, but it’s outside in nature. Going on hikes in the desert is so inspiring with all of the plant life and the colors, and cacti are a huge part of a lot of my designs. Some of my favorite places in Tucson I go for inspiration are Saguaro National Park West, Sabino Canyon, and Mt. Lemmon.
What inspired the design for your Standard Wax label? For this design, adventure and exploration was the inspiration. I wanted to represent being outdoors and exploring through icons that made me think of my town and the places that I’ve been. The desert landscape and our monsoon season played a part in this design, but I also wanted to encompass the mountains around us and other scenery I love like pine trees and florals.
What’s something unique about your work that people won’t see anywhere else? I like to keep my style simplistic and focus on shapes and colors. I don’t know how unique that is, but I do try and put my love of Tucson and Arizona into each of my designs and I hope that shines through for people who love it as much as I do.
Favorite City? Tucson! I’ve lived in other cities and those will also have a special place in my heart but there’s nothing better than Tucson and I’m glad I made my way back here.
Favorite Restaurant? I don’t think I have a favorite restaurant! Tucson is a great city to be in for foodies and I would feel bad picking just one because I love too many of them.
Favorite Museum? This is so tough because I love museums and have been to so many good ones! My absolute favorite might be a small one in Tucson: The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures. It’s a collection of miniature houses, rooms, and other sets from different times and worlds. The details on these sets are incredible, you feel transported into whatever you’re looking at. It’s seriously so cool, I don’t have enough good things to say about it.
Anything else you’d like to share? I’m really grateful to live in Arizona and have the ability to create and share my art with people. The community has been so accepting and supportive and I’ve had a great experience so far.

I still can’t believe how quickly Priest Alaska brought my wife back after she had left me for another man. Her behavior changed suddenly; she lost all interest and finally declared the marriage over. Nothing I said could stop her from leaving. Online comments about Priest Alaska encouraged me to contact him. He reassured me that it wasn’t a serious problem, advised me to stay calm, and promised she would return within 48 hours. I was full of doubt, but then she showed up at the door in tears; she regretted everything and couldn’t even understand how she could have left our family. Love has returned to our home.

I used to think that luck simply wasn’t on my side. For years, I played the lottery and never won more than a few pounds. One day, I stumbled upon the story of a mysterious spell caster known as Priest Alaska, who was said to help people attract fortune and positive energy. Curious yet skeptical, I decided to contact him. He spoke about focusing intentions, clearing away bad luck, and opening a path to abundance. I followed his advice to the letter, treating it as an act of faith or perhaps just a fun experiment. A week later, I played the numbers he had given me, incorporating a few small changes he had suggested. When the results were announced, I was absolutely stunned: I had just won £2.3 million. It felt unreal. Whether it was destiny, faith, or pure coincidence, that day changed my life forever. I share this story now not as proof of magic, but as a reminder that anything is possible when hope meets action. I recommend that anyone wanting to win big in the lottery contact Priest Alaska.

AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through AI and lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren’t for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure.

HAVE YOU LOST A FORTUNE TO CRYPTOCURRENCY INVESTMENT FRAUDSTERS, PIG BUTCHERING HOAX, PHISHING LINKS & ET CETERA ? HERE COMES REDEMPTION WITH EMERALD HACKS….SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION WITH AN EXPERT TODAY.
Emeraldhacks was founded by a small group of blockchain analysts and financial-crime investigators who spent years building tracing tools for exchanges and law enforcement. We saw the same pattern too often: a victim reports a scam, and the trail goes cold because no one follows it fast enough.
We built Emeraldhacks to close that gap. Every case is handled by an analyst, not a call-center script — and every case gets an honest read on whether recovery is realistic before you spend a dollar.

My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you too so get in touch with him right now.
