*Page 8*Foreword by Phillip Butah happy with it,but i still feel i have only just begun.For all Ed's incerdibles success,he is still young in his career and keeps improving because of his relentless work ethic.It\s been so rewarding to see my work sitting alongside his music in the albun and singles artwork. I've used different styles throughout the book ,to represent different times in Ed's life and career,and to reflect different emotions.Sometimes the material choice was just how i myself felt at the time;other times it was more calculated. At the back of the book,I've written a chapter talking about how i work,which i hope will inspire any people out there who want to be artists, or who read this book and wonder whether or not to give it a go. Ed's mum and dad really helped put this together:they went into their family albums and allowed me to use photos from their archive to work from for this book.I've known Ed's parents since iwas fifteen and they have been involved in my career ever since.The great thing about Uncle John and Muntie Imogen is that whenever i call them to ask advice,to have a whine or even to ask for help,they always make themselves available,and they've never once asked ofr anything in return.
*Page 9*Foreword by Phillip Butah This might seem an unusual way to make a visual record of one of the most remakrable musicians out there today,but art has always seemed to inform Ed's journey:you just need to look back over all his early albums and mix tapes.He's grown up around it;he even has it tattooed on his body. I'm really happy to have worked together with him to produce this unique and unusual book - and even happier to have watched it all happen first-hand.It makes me believe that dreams are achievable,no matter how big, with focused dedication and hard work.This book is a dream come true for me.
今天就翻译到这。在打英语的时候眼睛都累花了。 Phil的这段话非常诚恳,并为想成为艺术家或迟疑是否买这本书的人流下了一个大彩蛋。也像Iggy Azalea的Impossible is nothing中说的一样,无论感觉自己的梦想多么遥不可及也不要放弃,没有什么是不可能的。非常有励志意义。 明天coming soon:*Page10-11* - Introduction by Ed Sheeran
