When I Was Three.
It began in 2001 on Echo, New York’s premiere online discussion salon with a “Question of the Day”. That day’s question was “What is your earliest childhood memory?” Within minutes I posted three stories and fellow Echoid Ellen Tarlow responded “You should make these into a series of animations!” and the idea was planted.
The earliest episodes were completed in the spring of 2002 and it was developed into a series in the fall of 2003, with the structural constraint that each animation had to be completed in an afternoon. The series ran online for several years.
