Using my teen picture on my first album cover represents the beginning of my journey. My goal isnโ€™t to measure up to the packaged teen-pop or CCM model, or to win the approval of people who only respect art when it comes with a corporate team attached. retrosonya.bandcamp.com/albuโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‘†๐ŸปMy path was never supposed to look like theirs. It was always going to be slower, more self-reliant, and shaped by the tools and limitations of the eras I actually lived through.

Nothing says โ€˜authentic artistโ€™ like not writing your own material and having professionals handle the artwork. Nothing says โ€˜fraudโ€™ like actually doing all of it yourself and using a modern tool for the clouds. The logic is airtight. ๐Ÿค” #indieMusic retrosonya.com/post/championโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿป Theyโ€™re trying to enforce a hierarchy where only the already-visible get to matter, while ignoring how most of those visible people got there with massive support systems the average indie never had.

And it finally happened. The script has become so predictable, it comes as no surprise. I've got time stamps dating back to 2019 on FB, and 2018 on Artstation. Cope, AI haters. This isn't what you think it is! #NoAI #OriginalArt #SelfPortrait

@Grok Some dude is gonna try to snapshot this piece of work and call it AI. I can foresee this because itโ€™s already happened. retrosonya.com/post/the-ai-mโ€ฆ

This is why I say, do your research on an artist's work before you decide to make ignorant comments. I've got time stamps. I'm just gonna have to finish putting the textures on this baby as soon as I upgrade my PC! Wanna see how I did it? Check it! artstation.com/artwork/rlGGKโ€ฆ

Been working on my computer upgrade for a few months now. I order a CPU off of Newegg. It was a website based in Canada. Haven't got it yet because it got shipped to the wrong address. Now, fast forward to 4 months later and I'm still tryin to work this problem out. Delays! ๐Ÿ˜ซ

๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿป And now I'm finally getting a refund. Just gotta remember this... delays will happen sometimes. My 3D doppelganger has been on hold for a while because... system requirements.๐Ÿ˜ฌ I've got every computer part I need but one. I don't think this delay was a coincidence. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

One important disclaimer: the memes page on this website is for social-media content and promotional fun. It is NOT my art portfolio. Think of this page as the arcade cabinet, not the art gallery. ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ retrosonya.com/memes

I get why some people want an AI free feed, and thatโ€™s their choice. No hard feelings. But my memes are not my art portfolio. Theyโ€™re fun content for social media that I post in between finished original art pieces. โœŒ๐Ÿป#NoHate #HybridCreator

Real success isnโ€™t how much power or importance you have, or your status within a particular community. Itโ€™s in how well you serve. So stop trying to prove yourself and start serving! #faithoverfear #godgiven #godspurpose #synthwave #faith

Dear ladies who keep posting selfies for validation, let me share some words of wisdom with you. You are not required to keep proving your beauty to people who have already chosen not to see it. You already know what you look like. Walk in that knowledge. The rest is noise.

Everyoneโ€™s posting 80s selfiesโ€ฆ hereโ€™s mine. Left: The real one. Kindergarten picture. Baby teeth. Pastel shirt. Pure 80s childhood. Right: the AI versionโ€ฆ but only after serious human fine-tuning so it actually looked like meโ€ฆ back then. #Synthwave #RealVsAI

Forgiveness isnโ€™t an excuse for their behavior. Itโ€™s preventing their behavior from controlling and destroying your life.
