Tomorrow night are the Juno awards in Canada - a bit like the Tony's. My son James Paterson (they have spelled his name wrong with two "tt's) is a nominee for best album design. He will either win or come last. It's that type of work. -The link takes you to some of his other work for Nike, Diesel, Bjork etc. I Hope you enjoy them.
It is a wonderful thing for me as a father to see my son get this type of recognition.He hated school. He always asked the hard questions and never took anything at face value. He came home one day aged 14 and told me that he could not take it anymore and that he wanted to go to the art school at the local technical college. It was quite a moment for all of us.
The greatest lesson my son has taught me is to follow your own dreams. What a lesson to get from your son. I am so humbled by his wisdom and by his courage not to short change his talent or his direction.
Hope you win James! Hope they let you into Australia - (he is flying today from Thailand via Vietnam to Sydney and I hope he is not caught up in the whole SARS thing)
