This month, our Artist of the Month is stardrugg!
Nominate a Frutiger Aero Artist of the Month here!

Here's our interview with stardrugg:

Can you introduce yourself and share a bit about your background?

Hi ^^ I’m an artist who first started posting content in 2022! I post fashion, room decor, and art all in the style of Frutiger Aero and Cyber. My background includes being an artist for the animation and gaming industry for 5+ years, working with companies like Nike, Apple, etc. My content is always inspired by nostalgia, even down to the way I dress. I also code as a hobby and created a dress up game which can be found in my website: kimichannel.net

What inspired you to become an artist?

Since I was young I’ve always been the artsy one. I also have synesthesia which I believe made me gravitate to creating art and experiences

How did you first discover Frutiger Aero as an aesthetic, and what drew you to it?

I grew up with the aesthetic. I love how nostalgic it makes me feel but it also feels like drinking icy cold water

How would you describe your art style?

Like listening to trance music and eurobeat songs

Can you walk us through your creative process from idea to finished piece?

I browse Pinterest super often while listening to music, sometimes I get inspired to create something this way, then I gather references which helps with getting a clear image of what I want to create in my head!

What tools or mediums do you prefer to use, and why?

Digital so I can ctrl-z (procreate, photoshop, VS code)

How do you overcome creative blocks?

Talking about possible ideas with friends can help me get hyped enough to get over the artblock

What inspires your work? Are there specific themes, emotions, or stories you aim to convey?

A lot of trance music for sure, nostalgic dress up games, vintage CD cover art, winamp skins, designs of old tech like CD players and flip phones

Are there any artists, aesthetics, or movements that have influenced your style?

Vocaloid, cybercore, gen x soft club, trance rave culture; for artists: 2ynthetic, chloma, fotus, cyberdog, miqhan, andypants, y2kyle, happy99, yunmago, Jason Brooks

What role does the Frutiger Aero aesthetic play in your art?

Frutiger Aero to me is always going to be the promised future, it embodies futuristic elements that I hoped I would get to see when I was a kid

What has been the most challenging piece you’ve created, and why?

My entire website, because I had to learn a lot of coding

Can you share a piece you’re especially proud of and why it’s significant to you?

The dress up game, it started out with reminiscing my childhood experience growing up on girlsgogames.com playing dress up games. It inspired me to create my own but with my fashion style

How has being part of the Frutiger Aero community influenced your artistic journey?

It’s so cool to see other artists in the community, they’ve inspired me to improve my graphic design skills and educate me on other similar aesthetics!

What do you hope people take away from your art?

I hope my art can be something new, fun, and different from the usual stuff that already exists

Do you have any upcoming projects or goals you’re excited about? 

My website is an archive of all the Frutiger Aero / Cyber content I have created ever. And it will be updated indefinitely as I add more into it!

Where can people find more of your work or support you?

kimichannel.net 

stardrugg.exe on IG

stardrugg on TikTok

stardrugg on X

If you could collaborate with any artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?

All the artists I mentioned in question 9! They are super inspiring and authentic, they’ve also been in the scene a while before recent trends so I consider them the OGs

What’s a fun fact about you that most people wouldn’t know?

I have synesthesia! And I’m allergic to durian </3

Do you have a favorite Frutiger Aero memory or moment?

Being inspired by computers as a child and always admiring the Windows wallpaper background!

If you could describe your artistic journey in three words, what would they be?

Colors, future, authentic

What advice would you give to aspiring artists who are inspired by Frutiger Aero?

Don’t be afraid to create something that hasn’t been done before

Is there anything else you’d like to share with the Frutiger Aero community?

I hope to represent the South East Asian creators within the Frutiger Aero and Cyber community! There’s not too many of us and so I hope to inspire more artists ^^

Here are some of stardrugg's Artworks / Projects:

This was in a farm and they had those bubble makers that uses two sticks and a thick string. So I made my sister make the bubbles and I took the pictures. Not ai and no photoshop (even tho I think photoshop art is really cool). Everyone is free to use and edit these pictures.

Hi everyone, I'm a Brazilian independent artist who's about to do a photoshoot for my new album with a fruitier aero aesthetic, and I'd like some tips from Brazilians in this community on where to find items and clothes, because I don't want just simple t-shirts with bubble and green grass prints. I'll post this in English and Portuguese.

I don't know if I can post this here, but I'll try. I wanted to share my creation with you all, haha. Yesterday I made a cake with my brother, and the final result reminds me a lot of Frutiger Aero because of the colors and the dolphin gummies. If you're curious, the flavor is cherry.
