JK Rowling waves her graffiti wand at Morningside hospital

The Scotsman is reporting that Potter author JK Rowling recently visited a Scotland hospital and left them some special art: Ms Rowling, 43, daubed graffiti on the walls of the Young People's Unit at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Morningside, which cares for teenagers with complex psychiatric conditions. Consultant psychologist Dr Jane Morris said: "She really does spread magic. She's a natural and knows how to talk to young people. And she's extremely cool. She does graffiti on the walls which is probably worth a fortune. "She's drawn all of us and wrote 'JK Rowling was here'." You can read the full report right here. Thanks to Mike for the tip!

Thats pretty cool! I think that Jo is actually a pretty good artist based off her drawing in Beedle.

She does pretty charming drawings actually: like someone mentioned above here hand-drawn illustrations for Beedle the Bard i glimpsed. Makes me think of how all those Loire castles in France have layer upon layer of scratched graffity on their walls, some as far back as the 1500s. The further back you go in history, the more strangely different and refined the lettering on these walls is... ...its as if people had more time and attention to develope some sort of sensibility and charm in their writing...
