Hi
In 2001 I was in contact with Viki Margerum regarding an art
project called Paper Penguins. Nick was going to take one of
my 'penguins' with him to Antarctica but changed his mind due
to his concern about customs. The project became rather successful
with quite a lot of media interest around the world but went
quiet due to unforeseen circumstances. I have restarted the
project and am trying to trace that very penguin. His name is
Hudson and I was hoping that he is still with you. Possibly
sitting in a dusty corner somewhere. I would be very grateful
if you could ask Nick Park of Hudsons whereabouts and let me
know. The project can be found at www.paperpenguins.co.uk. It
would be great if Aardman or Nick could get involved in the
project by taking Hudson on trips so that I could document his
adventures on the website. It is designed to be educational
and fun.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Guy,
I've had a chat with Nick, and although he does remember Hudson,
he no longer has him and is not sure where he would be. I regret
Nick would not be able to participate in taking a Hudson replacement
on his adventures also, as Nick has just embarked on writing
his next major feature film and regrettably this demands the
lions share of his time over the next few years,
