My Son in whom I'm well pleased.


We are still working on Harris County and thought I might give a little pat on the back to my son.

Last Monday when the film crew for the documentary was here they asked him a question and his response was beautiful. They asked him why he does the drawings? He stated

“Because someone has to do them, Dad certainly won’t”. And he is right. I hate drawing but my son has become quite good at it. I think in 3-D and trying to make a drawing reflect what I see in my mind is to frustrating. A fellow artist and good friend of my called me “carbon challenged” and he must be right.

But thankfully my Son Matt Henson II (or in our family lovingly known as Matt2) is quite good at it. (see photo above) He has had to submit all the drawings depicting the designs to the architect and the Historical Commission. Not only does he have to show the design he has to show how we are proposing how to mount them. It is long and tedious work and since the ending item is more of a sculpture he does not get the recognition he deserves.

He also is the director of Professio. Doing all the paperwork, billing, taxes, banking. All the crap I hate. And to be honest he is much better at it than I ever was. He is going to take this company a long way and I’m proud to be called his dad.
