The cover off the book.
Well I wanted to say that today I finished the last page of the interior art as well as the cover art (front cover that is). We are getting close to getting this ready for the printer. I am looking at sometime in April. Yet to do this I will your need your help, because a major portion of this rely's on you making sure I have the right information. CHECK YOUR SPAM FOR MESSAGES.
This deals with the name in the back of the book. So if you want a specific name in the back of the book, I need you to message me asap. Or better yet answer the big email I send out. I want to make sure everyone's name is correct. If I do not hear from you - I will use the name from the kickstater and that will be your name.
I am working on finishing off the spot art as well as the map. I am excited where it is going.
I am also starting the pencils for book 5.
Thanks again for your incredible support - Keep creating.

Good morning my dear friends and thank you for the incredible support we have been recieving on the Kickstater for Book 4 of the Bean. It has been one wild ride and I am completely blown away but outpouring of patrons to see this book become a reality. One of the coolest things is that we unlocked the 1st stretch goal. This means that everyone that backs the Bean (which is like pre-ordering now) will get a very beautiful 18x24 map of the brokenmoon. I am really excited about this. Also I have added another special backer reward. See below.
With this stretch goal now unlocked, and 19 days left for our adventure. Now I am really excited about the next stretch goal. This one is a little different and a lot more personal in my opinion.
This Companion Sketch book will be a series of artwork, covers, concept work and sketches of the Bean and commentary on how this story came about. Talking about characters, personalities, and what the future is for the Bean. It will be a 20 page Full color book. This will also be for every backer at the $25 level or higher.
The more people that we can get into the world of the Bean, the quicker we will hit the goal.
Thanks again for all the support and help in making this story a reality. I could not have done it without you.
So keep creating and keep dreaming big.

Good morning my adventurers. First off, thank you for your support, it has been an incredible ride so far and there is still many days to go. So I thought I would take a moment and give a report on what it is going on here with the bean and it's production.
First off I decided to add a new goal, a very special reward. In the inside cover I will do a color illustration of your favorite character from the series. Need to figure out one visit www.beanleafpress.com and hunt a good one down. It will be colored penciled and it is more than just a sketch, it is a very nice unique interior illustration. I have also decided to add this to all the reward levels over $150. I also added a new reward for my overseas friends, who like me, struggle with the rising shipping costs. For only $20 you can get all 4 pdf's. I want to make sure that you have the opportunity to read my story as well.
First STRETCH GOAL has almost been reached. We are just about 700 shy of hitting our first stretch goal. It is supper exciting for as I look at redoing the map adding a lot of extras to that map. I am already looking at the 2nd stretch goal which might be a beautiful sketchbook of the world of the bean
Also I am almost done with the book. There 3 pages left to draw, the cover art, spot art and edits. This is going by really quick and hopefully will be at the printers by april.
Thank you again for all your support.
Keep creating and please share the word, we can use all the help we can get.
