This post will be a personal reflection on what I’ve learned through the course, and some things to look forward to.

Comparing Drive Thru Cards and the Game Crafter
After looking at different print-on-demand options for Tarocchino Arlecchino, I ordered test decks from two popular US-based companies: Drive Thru Cards and the Game Crafter. I have ordered cards from the Game Crafter before, but Drive Thru Cards was also recommended by some backers so I wanted to give it a shot. After seeing the…

Speaker Reflection: The Mind of a Performance Consultant
Back in my first post for this blog, I tried comparing human performance technology (HPT) with instructional design (ID). While the differences and similarities between the fields are interesting, perhaps an even more useful question to ask is how the two can come together to strengthen each other.

But after skimming through many definitions which made my head spin, I really appreciated the way the term is broken down in an article by…

Prince Danila Govorila I
Once upon a time there lived an aged princess, with a son and a daughter. The children were well and hearty. But a wicked witch watched over them: “How can I use them – how can I lead them to harm?” thought she. She thought, until she arrived at a plan. I’m returning this to…

Making Hyacinth Harlequin
Hello and welcome Springtime! My favorite time is the Winter (and Autumn), and most of my other dolls reflect that. This year, I tried to generate some more purposeful excitement for the season – new colors! New images! I was looking forward to seeing some hyacinths which we planted in the Autumn… unfortunately the deer…

Prince Danila Govorila
After working on many smaller card pictures, I wanted to try some larger format story illustrations. I had planned to begin with a different tale, but ran into the story of “Prince Danila Govorila,” and wanted to depict at least this scene. This picture goes near the beginning of the tale (as collected by A.N.…
