Mongoose Hoodies

'Sentinel' is a photo-realistic, original, graphite pencil drawing depicting a meerkat apparently on sentry duty. I've never drawn one of these cute little Southern African mongooses before but was lucky enough to come across a wonderful reference photograph to use, which convinced me it was about time I did. I've kept the composition simple and uncluttered to give a sense of height and space.

Art by Nour Hassan and Duy Truong This is a scene from the "Wurtherington Diary." The creature said, "I am an opossum, sir and I am known as Zeke, far and wide." I offered my hand and he licked it. "No, I wish to make you my friend and if you shake my hand we will be friends." I showed him how to do it properly. I told myself that I must remember that Zeke was a mammal and not a human and would not have any understanding of human nature. It was not that easy to do, as up until yesterday, anyone who talked to me was a human. Now I find myself talking to a mouse, an octopus, and now an opossum. I reminded myself that Kira was a strange land and it was my duty to learn the customs if I was going to be of any help at all.

This is our first drawing that appears in the Little Doll Girl sketchbook edition. The Wurtherington Diary: The Little Doll Girl. Art by Nour Hassan Duy Truong One afternoon, I had them lined up on the work bench and was going down the line dressing each one in their new uniforms. I had little soldier hats and tiny wooden swords for each. I picked up one and it squeaked! "Squeak!" To my surprise it was a mouse! He had been standing there in line with my soldiers. I brushed back the curtain and I could fully see what I had come upon. I poked his belly with my finger. "Hey! Cut that out!" "You can talk?" I whispered. I had never heard of a talking mouse. "Of course I can—doesn't everyone talk?" "I can only whisper." "Aren...

The Wurtherington Diary: The Little Doll Girl. Art by Duy Truong. I peeked from under my leaf and saw that is was a little girl. She was picking flowers. She hummed as she picked," La la la la, la la. I pick flowers for my mama." I could see she was as ugly as the rest, covered with hair like that. There was something human about her though, while she sang and gathered flowers. The others must have had a sudden change of heart. "Ahh!" They all sighed. "She's ugly and cute at the same time. One of us should go out there." "You are kidding?" "You go." "Not me." "I'm not going." "This was Tammy's idea" They all looked at me. YesI was the one who got us into this mess.

Art by Duy Truong and Nour Hassan This scene appears in the Wutherington Diary, The Little Doll Girl. Catherine continued, And where is this Tammy that has everyone talking? I'd like to see her now. I stood up. I am here. I brushed back my hair which was now tangled and in disarray. Lucinda cackled, "You look like nothing to me. Let us see you cast a spell." I said, "I am no more than a little girl from Ohio who has lost her way." "You lie!" Lucinda raised her hands and cast a spell that tossed me across the pavilion like a rag-doll and knocked the breath from me when I slammed against a wall. Catherine raised her hand and I was picked up and carried by invisible hands toward her. She made motions with her finger and I was ...

An unearthly howl filled the air and echoed across the plain. “Hoooowwwwgggaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” Two dozen towering wooden soldiers moved from the forest and the royal soldiers saw them for the first time. Each beat upon a deafening drum that thundered into the mountaintops. “Hoooowwwwgggaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” sounded again and again.

The Wurtherington Diary: The California Gold Rush art by Duy Truong. I had the town escort all of Cole's men into the jail. One scowled, "That jail ain't gonna hold us. It doesn't have a door on the cell." By they time we wrangled them into the jail Durango showed up and I kicked him inside with the others and bolted the door. Meanwhile the miners had erected a barricade across the street and were ready to shoot it out when Cole brought his men into town. I told them, I doubted that we would ever see Jessie Cole again as I had fifty marshals on their way and they would take care of them. I turned to Polly and said the magic words. "Turn around three times and close your eyes And soon you will be close to the skies. Make that w...

Cute Meerkats on the lookout

The Wurtherington Diary: The Little Doll Girl. Art by Nour Hassan and Duy Truong. The guards grabbed Alfred and me and escorted us to the dungeon. Alfred protested as we both were rushed off by the guards. “Take your hands off me! This is a big misunderstanding. I lost my way and I'm not with her!” A few minutes later we were both chained to a wall in the dungeon. Alfred was distressed. “I have become accustomed to my head. I'm really going to miss having it. That isn't so bad; however knowing that it will sit up there with those other heads—all of us staring at one another with nothing better to do....” I listened for nearly an hour to of the sad state of affairs from poor Alfred.

"No, no, Captain," Alfred assured the crew, "Tammy is a good sorceress and soon she will not only repair your sails...." "Yes?" "She will capture your heart before the Sun sets in the West."

The Wurtherington Diary: The Little Doll Girl. Art by Jessie Ty and Duy Truong September 2, 1883 Dear Diary, I began to have doubts about all of this. Many were going to die and the burden of it all collapsed upon me that evening. I offered a prayer to God at the side of my bed. "...This is too much for a little girl from Ohio to bear. I ask for strength from you to help me get through tomorrow. I really do believe I have done the right thing and I can only hope that I will feel this way after the battle. Amen." I wanted to look like a commander and Zandy and I designed a soldier's outfit with broad shoulders and a ruffled blouse. It looked much like the others; however I saw that it fit perfectly and gave me a confident air ...

The war machines were an important part of the plan. The Hoarggs worked side-by-side with the villagers that flew in and out of the forest daily. After the first few days a tent city was erected as many of the workers felt they could better spend their time working rather than going back and forth each day. The tents began as a scattering the first day or so and now there are thousands of tents hidden in the forest. Wives flew in to feed the hoards of workers and campfires filled the night sky every evening. In that few had ever handled a...

Art by Nour Hassan and Duy Truong....... This is our first picture ( of over 400 ) that appears in the Wurtherington Diary..... As with many illustrated classic stories, it is a story with unique characters and deals with hope, determination, compassion, and much more.

The diary is faithfully preserved for today's reader. In it, the reader will discover that a ten-year-old mute girl, Tammy Wurtherington residing in the Wixby estate is the author. She loves to make dolls in a shed out in back of the house. She lives with Lord Wixby and Aunt May in a lavish estate at the edge o...

Catherine and Lucinda cackled, “I cast my final spell; and bring forth the korgoyle, from the pits of hell.” This was the moment of the prophesy. I signaled Cedric and a few of his comrades to do the prearranged task. They flew out onto the field with kerosene lamps and dropped them between me and the korgoyle that was sure to arrive. I wanted the korgoyle to focus on me and the lights would do it. It was much like an arrow pointing the way to the dinner—and I was it. The ground shook as though an earthquake has struck and the earth opened up. A winged korgoyle crawled out and looked for the order. “Kill the girl!” they ordered and pointed to me standing there with my sword raised for battle. How could a little girl from Ohio kill a ...

Art by Jesse Ty and Duy Truong: I showed Baragh the sketch that Zandy had drawn and offered to sew it if he wished. He loved the idea and within the hour I had him dressed in a handsome leather outfit with a large black belt. He stood before a mirror and admired himself while he held a bow and arrow. Alfred, Cedric, and Zeke hovered around him offering compliments. All of the Hoarggs will soon want to look like this!

Art by Duy Truong September 4, 1883 Dear Diary, Alfred and Betty dropped by and wanted to spend the night too. Of course they were needed back in Kira the next day. Someone needed to rule the kingdom. I have decided that there is no point in showing anyone my diary as no one would ever believe any of it.

Meerkat in the woods

The Meerkat or suricate, Suricata suricatta, is a small mammal belonging to the mongoose family. Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about half this in the wild. Canon Eos, zoom lens. (Featured in Top Shelf Wildlife, & other groups.)
