The 'Green Beans Project' is a cute series of illustrations originally intended to be used in a book. Absolutely charming, the illustrations document the adventures of a group of green beans.
Illustrated by Jonatan Cantero, the 'Green Beans Project' was created using traditional pencil and ink line art with finishing color touches via Photoshop. I can only hope that Cantero returns to this incredibly intricate project.
