2024 was better than the earlier years, but still not the best. especially at the first 3 and last 2 months. mother became more narcissitic, felt more anxious about myself and the world,became more superstitious and panicky, and even questioning if i was real. started questioning if my more optimsitic nature was childish and had some too-far panicky thoughts about ai.
but i prefer not to focus on the negatives rn. made some new irl friends (albeit i cant hang out with them), became less cynical, felt happier about my identity, having better academic preformance, and i got interested in photography. (usually beautiful skies or artwork)
heres some art i have pride in
i fell in love with the cybercore aesthetic in early 2023. decided to make an oc based on it when i found dis music vid with a cool cyber oc. this version is currently the “standard” phoebe form, as i’m looking more into edgy/dark cyber shit.
found a cool artwork from broskullemoji (his earth day art) and i loved the muted colors, so i decided to experiment with them. i was also feeling pretty pessimistic so this art was made to remedy it, although it wasnt what i imagined.
artfight was filled with such talented peeps. i had some great opprotunities to discover new aesthetics and played around with effects
this one is very important to me. the day i made this, there was a massive family fight, and i started doubting who i was, and if i was worth anything. i felt like i didn’t have a choice in my life and that i was just having my actions done for me like a sim. i wanted to communicate the chaos i felt but didnt have art will so i just scribbled and did effects.
i dont want to explain the pain and suffering this art was made from. its too personal. i made this to distract myself from the world. i wanted to escape to a world of fantasy and beautiful aesthetics, so i took a pic of a very cute dog and frutiger aero-ed it. i was thinking of this song while making this:

this art, its a doozy. i sometimes feel like the only way to make people better is to force them, and basically be a cult leader like person. i was thinking of the lain quote “close this world, open the next”, and propaganda posters. i also was expressing fear of ai, so what better oc than a robot girl resemblant of a human?
”children of the stars” is a series of art regarding my new ocs soleil, dylan, alexandra and philodoule. this art was based on my frustrations in the world poured out in this masterpiece. alexandra, the girl in the art looks like that cus she was inspired by dis cool picrew. the occult symbols were for aesthetic and also regarding her lore.
i felt weird that i didn’t draw reiko in like a year, so i decided to draw her again, with a few updates since i didnt like her old design anymore. the older design is still valid tho.
a rant against the system and zealots in the form of analog horror. the fox was based on my trauma and rebellious nature, and how i refuse to conform to people with weird ulterior motives. (everyone knows that shes got ulterior motives tell me da truth 🎶) i also grew up with a lot of fear about messing up, restrictive rules and shunning. partially inspired by mausland, as his art reminds me of my childhood, i wanted to analog horror it to represent childhood trauma.
fuck recency bias. i love this shit so much. i had dreams about this girl with similar fashion as the girl here. she would always appear in this 2000s-esque artstyle. i wanted to bring her into reality via ibispaint and my sketchpad. also wanted to pay tribute to old emo art from the 2000s.
