#BookOfBill ARTIST APPRECIATION THREAD 🔥 ⃤ 👁️

I was lucky enough to work with a true MURDERERS ROW row of badasses on this book!

Scroll to peek behind the scenes at the hall of fame artists behind the nightmare! (1/?)

1) IAN WORREL: The Emmy-winning genius who designed the Mystery Shack & threw the #CipherHunt with me never stops pushing the envelope! He did the cover, the spread above, even our cursed B&N stand. A wizard & lifelong inspiration

2) JOE PITT: GOAT of appeal & the Pitt in Pitt Cola, Joe’s the OG designer of Dipper & Mabel & a style chameleon who can make you fall in love with anything- even this baby monstrosity!

3) ANDY GONSALVES: The *real* “author of the journals”- Andy’s dawn Ford’s pages since the series & returned to bring his unbeatable style to Ford’s private hell in #TheBookOfBill
@andygonsalves 👁️ (4/?)

4) EMMY CICIEREGA: Might have used a magic basketball to steal the worlds talent because she can draw/paint any style, write jokes funnier than anyone, voice act & craft anything. #TheBookofBill would have been literally impossible without her
@EmmyCic 👁️ (5/?)

@EmmyCic 5) EDUARDO VALDÈS- HEVIA: A mysterious newcomer & talent powerhouse who instantly made an indelible & unsettling mark on the Gravity Falls universe. Follow him or be followed by him- the choice is yours!
@Valdevia_Art 👁️ (6/?)

@EmmyCic @Valdevia_Art 6) TREVOR HENDERSON: If something in #TheBookOfBill made you scream, barf, or double your weekly therapy visits, you can probably thank/blame modern horror legend @slimyswampghost. 👁️ What a dream to have him contribute!
(7/?)

@EmmyCic @Valdevia_Art @slimyswampghost AARON BOTHMAN: If you need a mad scientist to sculpt a popsicle, candle, chess piece, or burn down all of Gravity Falls, Aaron is the guy for the job! Nothing is more fun than being in this dude’s lab

@EmmyCic @Valdevia_Art @slimyswampghost DOR SHAMIR: CG genius rockstar Dor’s clock & computer are two of the coolest things I’ve ever seen and I would saw off my arm to have them in real life
IG: _dorshamir 👁️ (9/?)

@EmmyCic @Valdevia_Art @slimyswampghost GABRIEL SOARES: No one else but this CG modeler wunderkind could have brought my insane dream of Bill Cipher grandma figurines to life! @Disney consumer products- why aren’t you selling these yet??
IG: gabriel.soareszz 👁️ (10/?)

LOUIE ZONG: Is so prolific & talented scientists will be studying his DNA 1,000 years from now. He may also be responsible for a song that will be stuck in your head ever after, for always…
@everydaylouie 👁️ (11/?)

@everydaylouie STEPHEN DESTEFANO: No one but the king of inking himself could have illustrated the arsenic-poisoned absurdity of the Victorian Anti-Cipher society. A dream to work with this legend!

IG: no_but_sdestefano eye (12/?)

@everydaylouie LIP COMARELLA: This CG/paint/VR powerhouse was our secret weapon and the illustrator behind a certain website that’s only whispered about in legends…. If I were you I’d follow @LipComarella 👁️ (13/?)

If I keep going I’ll spoil the whole book, but special thanks also go to:
