TEAL LINES cartoon of the month - July 2025
Cartoon: "The Modern Thinker" by Vinay Jalla
This month’s special is a single-line illustration that says more with less. Vinay Jalla’s minimalist yet striking cartoon for July 2025 captures the essence of our screen-obsessed era.
In this piece, a lone figure hunched forward, eyes locked onto his mobile phone — a pose so familiar it’s practically instinctual. But look closer: it cleverly mirrors the iconic silhouette of Rodin’s The Thinker.
Only this time, the deep contemplation isn’t on philosophy or existence… it’s on doomscrolling, memes, and unread WhatsApps.
With a playful nod to classical art and a gentle critique of modern habits, The Modern Thinker invites us to laugh, reflect, and maybe even sit up a little straighter.
PS: The entire cartoon is formed from a single, unbroken line that never lifts from the page.
Thrilled to share that Vinay Jalla's photo series “A Spring Afternoon in Salford” has been selected by Open Eye Stories, an initiative by Liverpool’s Open Eye Gallery.
Captured on a rare sunny day at RHS Garden Bridgewater, this series is more than just floral portraits. It’s a quiet reflection on resilience, renewal, and the gentle rhythm of nature.
Over the past year, Vinay Jalla has been fortunate to share his work with a wide range of audiences, from vibrant gallery spaces in Milan to immersive virtual worlds and international cartoon festivals. Each exhibition has been a unique opportunity to connect with fellow creatives and showcase visual stories that reflect the times we live in.
These exhibitions reflect a growing commitment in his practice: using visual art whether through digital illustration, traditional painting, or political cartooning to tell stories that matter.
