I believe that dreams are meant to be shared, stories meant to be told and adventures need to be followed.

I made some changes to my patreon project-
Over the last few months I wanted to make some changes to my project. Better changes, This will effect the rewards a little and make it better for everyone. I want this to be the best for everyone below. The biggest change is this is now a monthly project and no longer a per update project. Meaning I am only asking for a $1 a month to help color the book.

Who am I?
My name is Travis Hanson and I create graphic novels, original artwork, and fantasy prints that stretch the imagination and encourage people to follow their dreams. Over the last 5 years I have worked on a webcomic series called "The Bean" (over 650 pages and growing).






The Passion to create and the reality - This has been a labor of love for many years. Unfortunately, it has been a hobby and I have not been able to focus on more than one page a week. There are bills to be paid and mouths to be fed. Yet I still believe in the dream and even in the tough times, I have always updated and given Bean's story to the world for free.

I want to finish Bean's story and have it be read and loved. I want people to be able to imagine themselves there with Bean in his adventures in full color, just how I first envisioned it. A full color epic story about the transformation of a young boy in to someone more than he ever imagined himself to be.



So why am I here on Patreon?.
As the campaign grows, I will be able to dedicate more time to finish "The Bean" books and go back and produce color versions that will inspire and delight the readers. Your part in this journey, starts with the first step to become involved with Patreon. You can help make a difference in this project with your generous support.

I am committed to telling the stories of inspiration and hope, illustrating them with imaginative artwork, and helping people to find their own happiness and joy through service and imagination.

What and When are the updates?
With the help of flattener Darne Lang, we will update the color pages from the beginning of Book 1 once a week and I will continue to add 1 new color page to Bean's current story every week.  There will now be weekly comic updates 2 times a week. The more money that is contributed, the more pages will be completed. My ultimate goal would be to update Bean's story in Full Color 5 times a week.

Bean will always be free to read online, but to those special people who become patrons, in addition to helping complete this project, will also have special access to special contests (free art) and opportunities to comment, chat and be the first to preview the story pages before everyone else get to see them. Your feedback, as a patron of the arts, is very important to me and many times the story has incorporated the ideas that you have shared with me. As you contribute, there will be opportunities for you to be able to receive a copy of each new book as it is printed, depending on your level of contribution.





Thank you so much for your support in Bean's story over the years. I have appreciated that you have shared his story, contributed to the funding and strengthened me to keep moving forward. I am very excited to finally be able to see Bean move in such a positive and incredible direction. I could never have come this far without your help, your encouragement, your financial support, and your belief in the power of changing the world through following your dreams. I promise to continue to make this adventure of a humble dishwasher an incredible ride. Please commit your financial support today to keep this dream alive. As little as one dollar can get you started as a Patron of the Arts.

Keep creating, keep dreaming and keep believing.
Travis Hanson
