About Me

Hello! I'm TechnoToast aka "Toast", "Techno", "Toast Enthusiast", and "Girl Who Changes Her Name on Twitter to a Dumb Joke Every Month." I'm a black, Haitian-American illustrator and graphic designer (honestly at this point: I'm a multimedia artist with a wide skill set but a focus in illustration & graphic design) who lives in the northeast U.S and who occasionally gets mistaken as a music producer online.
​
I'm a self taught artist who's been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. But the past 10+ years are when I really decided to take art seriously and work hard to try to get into an art related career field. In the Hell Year known as 2020, I graduated with my B.F.A in Graphic Design.

Inspiration

​I have a massive love for the dramatic, abstract, and surreal. I love bright, vivid colors and vaporwave/cyberpunk aesthetics. I adore storytelling and it's impossible to get me to stop making engaging stories and incorporating them into all my projects.

In my free time I spend a lot of time drawing my own characters and dreaming up more stories I want to bring to life someday. I sometimes make fanart illustrations or comics. Sometimes it's fanart of games, shows, anime, streamers. You've probably seen me spend a great amount of time cracking jokes in your Local Streamers' twitch chat.

Projects

​In September 2016, I launched my very first webcomic series called Waiting to Cross, a romantic comedy about finding your potential soulmate on the sidewalk. It's currently on an indefinite hiatus.

Virtual-K is my shop where I sell my designs and illustrations on physical merchandise like stickers, prints, posters, keychains, etc. The items featured there have a style that is more focused on surreal, abstract, and creepy-cute aesthetics.

REM_ZINE/REMiniscence was my year long capstone project that I was working on all throughout 2019-2020. It was an interactive project about weird dreams and strange memories! A project where the audience would directly interact by telling Remi, an alien-robot stranded on Earth, their dreams so that she can use the dreams as fuel for her ship to get back home. I also worked with other artists who would go through the dreams I collected and draw that dream. It was a fun and wild ride to create this project and while it didn't come out how I originally wanted (due to the pandemic), it still turned out really well.
