Take a road trip . . . back to where it all started.

For years, the true origins of Gravity Falls have been hidden under lock and key. Now, for the first time ever, series creator Alex Hirsch and co-writer Rob Renzetti crack open the vault to reveal the definitive visual history of Gravity Falls.

Inside The Art of Gravity Falls, you'll find never-before-revealed development art from Alex Hirsch's personal archives, including first inklings of the characters and world, lost episode ideas, cut jokes, deviously hidden easter eggs, every single one of Mabel's sweaters, and much, much more!

With interviews from the creative team and a foreword by animation legend James Baxter, The Art of Gravity Falls is a celebration of the incredible artists behind the beloved series, and a blueprint for creatives who want to turn their own ideas into animated worlds.

The Mystery Shack is waiting. . . . Are you ready to step inside?
