June Toons 2026

June Toons is a yearly project that I created in 2019 in which I draw a new cartoon illustration every day for the month of June. This is the 5th iteration of the project!

I posted each drawing here as I created them!

A cartoon illustration of the words "June Toons" as a bunch of jumbled balloons. The 'S' at the end has been punctured by a cactus below, and it starting to blow away. The 'T' has a string hanging down, which is being held by a small pink rabbit. The cactus has a face on it, with a surprised look. It is green and is in a large orange clay pot with a yellow zigzag across the bottom. The balloons are a bright turquoise color. The background of the image is a gray-green, with a light burst of white behind the lettering.

One of his paws is hanging into the water and the other is holding a mixed drink with a straw and tiny umbrella sticking out. The bear's feet are hanging over the end of the tube, but his legs are too short to let them go into the water. The bear is frowning. There is a glowing gold sun behind the bear, and a wavy reflection of everything below. The background is a pale purple color.
An illustration of a volcano exploding. The volcano has a cartoon face on it that looks like the smiling emoji with stars in its eyes. It is light brown with pale green trees going partly up both sides. The top of the volcano is covered in lava that is dripping down the sides, and a shaft of fire is shooting out of the top and into the it, creating a large gray cloud at the top. The sky is a pale yellow that fades to white near the horizon and gray at the top, under the cloud. The line work and shading are meant to make the image look like it's from a vintage comic book.
A cartoon illustration of a dopey-looking dinosaur. The dinosaur is purple and has a long neck, humped back, and a long tail that is curled up behind him. His four legs are stubby, leaving him low to the ground. His eyes are a light gold color with blue irises, and are bugging out widely. He is smiling and has a vacant look on his face.
