Today's June Toons cartoon is inspired by the antics of the real-life birds I've seen trying to get into our backyard bird feeder.

Those guys are hungry! 😆

A cartoon illustration of a bird dangling from one side of a hanging bird feeder while gobbling up seeds falling from the opposite side. The bird is hanging upside down and its body is arching upward underneath the bottom of the feeder. It has its mouth open in a smile, and a pile of seeds are on its tongue. The feeder is tilted, making the seeds spill out. The bird is blue with a white beak and belly. The feeder is done in monochrome, and the seeds are mostly white with speckles of black here and there. The background is a pale green. The drawing is stylized to look like a vintage illustration, with a light halftone pattern visible on the bird and feeder, and a faint distressed effect over the entire image.

"Tree of Paradise," Séraphine Louis, 1926.

Louis (1864-1942) was a self-taught painter inspired by her own intense religious faith, and stained-glass windows in her local church.

A domestic servant, first at a local convent and later by assorted bourgeois families in the town of Senlis, she painted privately on various objects until 1912, when one of her employers, an art collector, stumbled on her work and was greatly impressed. He encouraged her to work more and supplied paints and canvases for her to work on. She was launched into a world of critical and financial success...but was ill-equipped to handle it and lost most of the money she made.

By 1932 her mental health, which was always wobbly, deteriorated to the point that she had to be institutionalized. She spent the rest of her life in an institution, sadly denied any sort of artistic outlet. Today she is remembered as a significant outsider artist.

From the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Herre's the time-lapse for yesterday's June Toons cartoon - this guy is making ALL the right moves. 🥴

A time-lapse of a cartoon illustration being created. The illustration is of a chess piece, the knight, which is a small bust of a horse on a tiny pedestal. The horse's eyes are bugging out and walleyed, and his tongue is sticking out of a goofy smile. The piece is a warm light gray with large blue shadows on the left side and bright shiny highlights on the right. The background is a gold color with a half circle of light behind the piece, and a faded checkerboard beneath it.

A black and white illustration depicting a surreal architectural scene. In the center of the image stands a raised platform, structured like a stage or plinth, with vertical poles or beams extending upwards into the sky. These beams pierce through various horizontal bands and semi-transparent clouds, giving the impression of great height. A tall, dark monolithic shape rises in the middle of the platform, surrounded by these beams. To the right of the monolith stands a small, silhouetted child-like figure, while to the left, closer to the foreground, appears a cloaked figure holding a long staff. The cloaked figure has a partially visible face and stands on the lower level of the platform. The background is filled with a dramatic sky composed of layered clouds and abstract horizontal streaks, evoking a sense of both depth and atmosphere. The overall composition is symmetrical and monumental, with high contrast and textured surfaces contributing to the dreamlike, solemn tone of the image.
