I’ve been animating the Spokesmonster non-stop for the last two months. After the first cartoon was released, just when I would have liked to take a break, it immediately became urgent (as I described in previous posts) to begin work on the follow-up.

But now that the second cartoon is complete, I can take a bit of a breather and think about what comes next. Our next project here at MyFrontSteps is an application aimed less at the business crowd and more at average folks – homeowners and renters. This new application will allow people to showcase their homes to their friends, their neighbours, and the whole wide world.

Is the Spokesmonster the right character to introduce this new application? Hard to say. One possibility we’ve discussed is that we might retain the Spokesmonster but introduce another character (or characters) to help shoulder promotional duties. And since I already had in mind a friend’s suggestion that the Spokesmonster needed a girlfriend…

Maybe someday the Spokesmonster universe will be as crowded as Ronald McDonaldland.
