Some silly animals over the years - just because...

It’s the most fun I can have at the end of my pencil! 😊

I’ve gone and added a Silly Animals page to my website www.junesteube.com

Yay! Congrats Kelly Boley! Her book, Albert and the Sugar Bugs is out. It's a fun book for kids about oral hygiene.

Sheldon Snail, official carrier of the forest's snail mail service, is delivering a very important letter to Betty Beatle! What could it be?

Nothing like trying out new mediums. Have been a digital artist but lately been wanting to learn traditional as well.

January is all about feeling motivated for the coming year. These mice are very inspired by the motivational posters and are planning on breaking into this cheese shop!!

Joining @scbwi.bsky.social monthly prompt challenge has officially become part of my routine, and for January, the prompt is “dream.”

For this one, I really wanted to explore color and play with strong contrasts.

#characterseries--Sisters. It's always a struggle to figure out how to dress kid characters. Using Pinterest as inspiration helps. If I had my way they'd all wear stripes!

Back at my #characterseries with this little reader. Is there anything better than curling up with a good book? The correct answer is no 😉

When I was a visiting author, this (unpublished) story was requested most frequently. Teachers loved how the theme validated self-reliant entertainment.

Yvette Skunk has a plan to defeat the dogs -- she is an EXPERT at explosives! 😂 That's why she is a key member of the Critter Mafia!
