TEAL LINES cartoon of the month - "5 Vices - POV" by Vinay Jalla.
October 2025
This month, Vinay Jalla takes us on a wry, satirical stroll through the distorted lenses of human weakness. His cartoon reframes the ancient foes of inner growth — lust, anger, greed, ego, and attachment — not as abstract demons but as spectacles we insist on wearing, each pair warping our vision of the world.
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of hosting my first solo art exhibition. What made it even more special was that it was created without spending a penny.
Vinay Jalla is proudly known as the "Banana Artist". Through his signature Ripening Stages of a Banana watercolour series, he blends environmental passion, food culture, and artistic vision like no other.
From the first green peel to the golden ripeness, from kitchen muffins to compost bins, Vinay’s art invites us to reconsider the everyday banana in all its and life stages.
Vinay Jalla had the honour of being invited to visit The Silk Museum and Paradise Mill in Macclesfield - a town renowned as the historic centre of the British silk industry. Walking through the museum’s collections and the weaving halls felt like stepping back into a time when Macclesfield silk was exported across the world.
I’m honoured to share that my photograph “Modernist Memory: The Toast Rack” has been selected for exhibition at the Glasgow Gallery of Photography’s Shape Exhibition (4th - 28th September 2025).
For me, this recognition is more than a personal milestone.

We celebrate the unsung hero of the living room. From movie marathons and afternoon naps to deep conversations and family forts, every sofa holds a universe of stories. It’s a silent witness to our lives, absorbing tears, laughter, and the occasional spilled cuppa.
For the latest 'see and smile' cartoon, Vinay Jalla wanted to give this trusty piece of furniture its moment in the spotlight. This one seems to be doing... sofa so good. 😉
