Jack Draws Anything

Here is the trailer for Jack Draws Anything (the book):

Neil asked Jack to draw his favourite place in East Lothian. Jack’s answer was the brilliantly named Grinding ring and balls. This is situated right next to Cockenzie Power Station and forms a sculpture / symbol for the community. It is a 10 foot diameter mill ring and weighs around 7 tonnes. It is flanked by six 28 inch balls each weighing a tonne. Phew.

Jack likes it because he made a model of it for a school project and likes to go there and play, run around and play football.

Here is a picture of the real Grinding ring and balls:

And here is Jack with his model which will be displayed at The 3 Harbours Arts Festival (The 3 Har­bours of Pre­ston­pans, Cocken­zie and Port Seton pro­vides the per­fect set­ting for this unique fes­ti­val show­ing arts in unusual spaces. 28th May to 5th June 2011):

Jack had never drawn a fairy before so to help him out we looked up the Internet. In the end we settled on using Mavis Cruet from Willo the Wisp as our reference. For those who don’t recall, this was a 1980s kids TV show voiced by Kenneth Williams. One of Daddy’s favourites and Jack likes watching the old episodes on YouTube.
