NOTE: For my portfolio, please click on “illustration” and “design” above. January 26, 2012 Between projects for clients, I've been working on an animated music video for my children’s song “My Other Shoe Has Run Away.” Here are a few frames from the work-in-progress. Backgrounds are temporary; final backgrounds will be made in Photoshop after I complete the character designs in Flash. The story follows the Shoe character as it has all kinds of hypothetical adventures around the world. The girl imagines all this as she frantically searches for it so she can go to the toy store with Dad, who waits patiently at the door.
