Hudson's e-mails

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,

Many thanks,

Kate Munkenbeck
