Greetings from Gravity Falls!

I'm very happy to have my first post sharing some of my work from Disney Channel's "Gravity Falls". I've been working on the show now for roughly nine months as Character Designer and I couldn't be more pleased to share some early promo material. These postcards were made for handouts at Comic Con. Ian Worrel, Phil Rynda, and I did the artwork for them. I also sacrificed a piece of my hair for this darn thing.
For those who are curious, "Gravity Falls" is a comedy about twins Dipper and Mabel Pines who are thrown into the mysterious town of Gravity Falls, Oregon for the summer when their parents send them to stay with their Great Uncle Stan (aka “Grunkle Stan”).
In Gravity Falls, Stan is in charge of running The Mystery Shack, which is a tourist destination that overcharges unlucky visitors for a glimpse at the world’s most bizarre museum. But Dipper and Mabel soon realize that there is something strange going on and they must work together to find out what it is! ( I actually just copied and pasted this description from a Disney Channel article because I don't know what I can officially say ) HA!
Anyways, this is my first post of many to come in the near future. Hope you all check it out next Summer!

I do promos for Disney Channel and was really excited to hear about this show. On the name alone I asked my boss, "Is it anything like Twin Peaks?" I look forward to watching and hope it does really well!

What does "child labor" mean? I laughed so hard when I first read that, it is hilarious.
I cannot wait for Gravity Falls to come to Disney Channel on June 15th! Yes, I shall be obsessed with this show in the matter of only seeing the first episode. Just like with Austin
& Ally...
Anyways, these pics are awesome! You have serious designing skills!

I am Alex Hirschs dad- Robert.
This show is wonderful! And I'm not just saying it because of personal pride for Alex. This show has everything - great writing, presentation, voices, humor- and so much more. I love it! It appeals to all ages- even an old fart like me! Keep up the great work!
