SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

I have just launched a project through kickstarter.com to give a boost to my latest endeavor which you may already be familiar with: cuckoobean pals!

Kickstarter.com is a wonderful site where artists, musicians, restaurateurs, or anyone else with a creative idea they'd like to get off the ground can put together a project and ask for financial backing to bring it to fruition. Well, I have one and I'd love some help bringing it to the public!

Anyone wishing to contribute to my project will be able to do so through my link to my project on kickstarter.com: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/664696411/cuckoobeantm-pals-imagine-create-participate. It only takes as little as a $1 contribution to get my project rolling. In appreciation for your support, you'll receive some cool rewards including cuckoobean merchandise. Please keep in mind that if my entire initial funding goal is not met within the 45-day launch period, the project will not be funded and no rewards will be issued. The launch period runs until Thursday, February 16, 2012, 10:46 am EST.

Please tell your family and friends!
