Amazing Technicolor Berets

Technicolor Beret Alternate Version

Joseph's Awesome Beret!

Joseph is styling this year.

My favorite material for the technicolor beret

I put together a baker's dozen berets for the cast and crew of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in which I play Potiphar and Gad.  I really wanted to design the 'coat of many colors' but didn't get a chance.  The company was able to get their hands on a coat designed by Bob Mackie and so my efforts were definitely not missed.  Still, I couldn't let the opportunity be missed.  These aren't used on the stage but are favors for the cast.

Cards and Questions

Created the card designs and format for the Benedictine Board Game.  So far it is looking very nice!

Larger board for old eyes

A board game based on the rule of St. Benedict.
New 18"X18" board
I've updated the graphic for the board game based on the Rule of St. Benedict.  The previous graphic was created for a board that was 10"x10", which is perfect for me.  Compact, easy to transport and fits in a closet like a dream. It's a little small, but no great shakes.
However, it was pointed out to me that the people who are going to be playing this board game might be of the... ahem... elderly variety.  And as such, they might have eyesight issues which will make them appreciate a larger board more easily visible.
So this is for a quad fold 18x18 board.  It's more expensive than the previous one, but the purpose of the game is to be fun and informative.  And if people aren't playing the game because it's hard to see than it defeats the whole purpose.

On another good note, this will give the board more room in the center for four decks of cards.  The question cards will be placed on the C, S, P, and B circles.  It would have been a tight fit with the other board, but now that's no longer an issue.  I'm not saying that the game is done just yet, but it is one step closer to being out the door and on it's way to the monastery.

St. Benedict RULEZ!

Game Board for the new game St. Benedict RULEZ!
Rule of St. Benedict Game Board

This is the board design I came up with for "St. Benedict RULEZ!"  Pieces follow a track around the circumference of the cross and answer questions about the Order of St. Benedict.  So far I've got the board done, which as anyone will tell you is the fun and easy part.  Now comes the typing up and creation of about 100 questions for the game.  Oh man...
