\"\"<\/a>Life has been a very wild ride these last few months. There have been two cons and in less than a week another one. I enjoy the travel and the visits with fans and friends, but it does wear one down.\u00a0 Yet I have been busy and there are some exciting events happening on the horizon. Well there are some exciting events happening right now.<\/p>\n

Issue 8:A Debt Repaid NEWS<\/strong><\/em>
\nWell Issue 8 is on the way from the printer. Man am I excited. For one, I have a hard time imagining that I have finished 8 comic books for a total of 304 pages. Yes I know the story was a little slow in the beginning, but it was done for a reason. As you read Issue 8 you will see why I took my time to develop this tale. Issue 8 is now on sale as well. Which you can buy here.<\/em><\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n

304 pages is a lot let me tell, yet it has also helped me develop a stronger work ethic. What most do not realize is that I have to finish 40 pages in 12 weeks, a cover, and all commissions and prints in that time period. Plus maintain an update schedule, be a dad and continue to put food on the table. (Yes balance is possible). So this brings me to our next bit of info.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIssue 9:Tears in the Dark.<\/strong><\/em>
\nProduction is in full swing. I have found my groove and I am really enjoying it. Even if I have to put everything on hold for SDCC next week. I am 16 pages into the book and I am averaging about 4 a week or so if not more. I actually match my production schedule to my weekly updating schedule. (3 pages a week). Once I have the correct number of pages I put them in a book. This allows me to keep telling the story.<\/p>\n

Now the Big NEWS<\/strong><\/em>
\nBean Volume 1: Riddles and Shrooms.<\/strong><\/em>
\nYup it is time to start putting the books together. This is going to be a really fun adventure and your support of the prints and comics are making it possible. Volume 1 will contain the first 4 comics. No color yet. Once Volume 1 comes out I will discontinue issue 1 through 4 – So if you are missing those get the quick, because I am running out. I will also post the new cover in a few weeks. This is a huge step for the Bean and it fills my original vision for the comics. I am still short on funding, I am not asking for donations, just pick up a print or two or a maybe a book and help us along.<\/p>\n

San Diego Comic Con<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe con of all cons. Yup this is the mother of all shows. If you are going come by the booth E11 and say hi. I would love to hang out, chat for a moment and even draw you a FREE SKETCH. I am there all 5 days. I will be sending a map with the con email next week. I’ll even add a few people to visit and special coupon for the show. Plus we will find out if we win the eisner or not.<\/p>\n

Well I have probably talked your ear off. So Sit back and enjoy the show. Keep Creating<\/p>\n
