Jack Draws Anything

Here are two pictures from the book fairies (printers in Italy) that are working hard on Jack’s book (out October 6). The picture below is the magnifying glass they use to check the dot gain and picture above is the machine that tells them the percentage of ink across the sheet. All very technical but all very cool.

If all goes to plan, some advance copies will be with us by the end of the week! How exciting!

Jack noticed that Craig was a Composer / Arranger, Performer & Teacher (Keyboards & Percussion) which in Jack’s world translated to Craig plays the piano. Jack decided to add a keyboard into the picture for Charlie to sit on. Hopefully Charlie has not broken it.

Nicola originally asked for her Norwegian Forest cats but very kindly changed her request once she realised how many cats Jack has drawn. Jack had a good time learning about Vikings and loved doing their ship. He wanted to add shields like in the picture I showed him and has done a shield for Noah, Toby, Jack, Mum & Dad.

Jack wanted to use his pastels for this jumbo. The red things on the front (which Dad thought were the rotors) are the lights flashing away as the plane comes into land.
