Phony-12

Phony, 12”

Imposter Syndrome & Wearing a Mask

Meet Phony, your Bad Day companion because Everyone Can Have a Bad Day.

Meet Phony. He’s wearing a wide smile, nodding along, and acting like he’s got everything under control—but underneath, he’s terrified someone is about to figure out he’s just making it up as he goes. Crippled by imposter syndrome and the pressure to look perfect, Phony is exhausted from putting on a performance for everyone else. He just wants a safe spot where he can take off the mask and finally be real.
