2D Character Animator, Background Designer, and Printmaker
Toshala is a Minneapolis based artist who enjoys finding humor in hardship. I find 2D animation, and mixed media to be the best way to get this across. Contact Me:
This is my senior thesis film. It revolves around a girl named Moksha going back to the ruins of her temple, and seeing an apparition of her brother who is presumed dead. It is meant to be a piece about grief, and how one needs to process their emotions in a proper way to carry on with their life. It’s currently a work in progress! Will not be fully posted until film festival run is over!
E col’ outside This short is meant to reflect on an experience more than one Guyanese person I know has gone through. They think it’s nice because it’s sunny, and then go out and have their ‘oh shit’ moment and laugh about it later. Why Would I lie This short is based on an interaction I actually had at my job, although this is my internal reaction. I used my customer service voice for the real thing, which also means it was a much longer interaction.
Big Banned Books
This piece was done in collaboration with Ali Astrup, Bryan Harroun, and Max Ylvisaker for Art To Change The World. It’s a commentary on how people are afraid of books giving representation to those that feel alone, or could teach valuable lessons they don’t agree with. I worked on the 2D animation, coloring, and background design.
