I'm a Canadian–based freelance artist and illustrator. I work under the alias Burnt Toast Creative.

Here’s a collection of some of my more popular illustrations from over the past year. I’d describe my style as a “playful cynicism”. More often than not, my work has a subtle social narrative - hopefully encouraging the viewer to rethink some things they otherwise wouldn’t have.

    All this technology to bring us closer has driven us further apart. Where once we'd drop in at a friends place for coffee, conversation and connection, now we shoot off a few texts and those moments that create memories are lost.

    Cell phone zombies...called them that for years. They walk slow, mouth gapping and no sense on there surroundings. I love when they walk into poles or something.

    Goggles can help you see under water, in places where you can't otherwise. But when you come up to the surface they'll make you vision blurry, your vision will be disturbed by the water in the goggles in front of your eyes

    It's such an interesting extrapolation: heroin is an opiate - so has social media replaced religion as the "opiate of the masses"?

    I believe it's implying that drugs can distract you from schoolwork and success, but that is just my guess, there is no right or wrong :)

    In real life we're more thoughtful more considerate with our words and deeds when we disagree with others, we choose our words carefully so as not to offend the individual nor those others listening. In social media we're not tied by such restraints, our emotions and attitudes are often barbed swords used to hurt and alienate. We can be harsh with our tone, we can speak out brashly, we can dismiss people with a few words. We no longer have considered conversion over a difference in people opinions, views or beliefs. We spit out words and cut individuals down and eventually, discard them altogether.
