The Doctor Is In

I’m delighted to share with you that I’ve added some very cool graphics to this blog.

I’m working with a couple of artists to help me develop some training materials for ThoughtWorks Studios. I’ve had one of them develop avatars for a number of the facilitation patterns and antipatterns that I’ve identified.

And for me.

The avatars will find their way into a workshop that I’m developing for delivery at the Agile2009 conference.

All of the artwork will find its way into the training materials, one way or another.

For the workshop, I’m develop playing cards.  My avatars and all of these characters were developed by Mike Ferrin. Here’s a sample:

Take a look at some of the facilitation patterns and antipatterns in this blog, and you’ll meet more of the characters:

• Repetitor
• Curious George
• Superhero
• Guide
• and more!

And here’s an example of one of the pieces that is part of one of our courses:

This piece was done by Brian Goff.
