Meerkats




While I was looking at the sketches I've done of meerkats I was trying to remember why I did them. I can't keep saying "I just love (name of animal here)". Probably with most animals I want to draw them because I like their facial expression. They look cranky or serious or happy.
Meerkats are so busy and curious and to me they look like they're having a good time. They're very social, and I like to see them sleeping in a big pile. A lot of times they are interested in zoo visitors - I bet they get fed a lot of snacks when no one is looking.
I did some meerkat signage for the Muenster Zoo - just the ideas and layout suggestions, not the illustration.


The sign asks if you have what it takes to be a meerkat.
