Hi, I’m Mel! ⭐My artist's name is taroghost!

I am a 24-year-old first generation Guyanese American artist based in Florida. I graduated from USF with my BA in studio art in 2025.

My work primarily involves exploration about chasing an ungranted childhood as a young adult. I love using bright colors and bold marks in my traditional work, and my digital work follows a looser nostalgic doodle style. I am inspired by early 2000s video games, collectibles often found in children's media, and expression through the internet.

I am a farming game enthusiast and a lover of fish! My current favorite things are Fields of Mistria, Rilakkuma, and beetles ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ When I’m not drawing or vending, I’m usually playing with my 3 cats, gaming with friends, or playing D&D!
