THE Prime Minister knows all about the Forest of Dean's notorious wild boar – and it's all thanks to the artistic talent of a Forest of Dean College student.

Jak Jones, 16, of Sedbury, has had one of his works featuring the boar hung in 10 Downing Street.

Jak won joint second place in a national competition to have an example of his art shown in the most prestigious address in Great Britain.

A natural artist, Jak is studying art, business studies and the environment and found the Downing Street competition – this year focusing on environmental issues – right up his street.

"He has taken illustrations used in the Review and used his own observations to complete his work. As you can imagine everyone is very pleased with his success," said his grandfather.
