IN JULY OF 2005, DEEP INSIDE THE 100 ACRE WOOD OF MYSTERY MOUNTAIN, THE GHOSTSCOUTS BEGAN CLEARING THE SITE FOR CAMP GHOSTWOOD. WE SET UP TENTS FOR SLEEPING AND A STONE RING FOR COOKING. WE DOGS AND JUMPSUITS. WE GOT CHAINSAWS AND AN SIX WHEEL AMPHIBIOUS ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE. WE DUG OUT THE STREAM AND BUILT A ROCK DAM FOR WATER COLLECTION. WE PLANTED VEGETABLE AND HERB GARDENS.

WE BUILT THE MICROBARN - OUR FIRST HANDMADE CABIN - USING 80% SALVAGED MATERIALS. WE BUILT SOLAR PANELS AND COMPOSTING TOILETS.WE BUILT A DESK AND GOT MOBILE INTERNET. FOR THE NEXT 2 YEARS WE RAN OUR ILLUSTRATION COMPANY ON SOLAR POWER FROM OUR SUPER SECRET MOUNTAIN TOP HEADQUARTERS.

WE STREAMLINED OUR LIFE DOWN TO THE ESSENCE. WE GOT RID OF EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T ABSOLUTELY PERSONAL. WE WANTED TO LIVE THE BEST LIFE WE COULD IMAGINE - DRAWING IN THE FOREST AND BUILDING FORTS WITH OUR FRIENDS - AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID.

IN THE FALL OF 2008 WE ACCEPTED A TWO YEAR POSITION AT CARTOON NETWORK IN HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA TO DESIGN THE WORLD FOR A NEW SHOW CALLED ADVENTURE TIME. WE SAID GOODBYE TO GHOSTWOOD FOR THE TIME BEING - WITH A PROMISE TO RETURN WITH ENOUGH FUNDS FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO MAKE THE ABSENCE WORTH WHILE.

IN THE FALL OF 2010 WE WILL RESUME OUR RESIDENCE AT CAMP GHOSTWOOD. WE WILL PICK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF IN 2008 - BUILDING AN ADDITION ON THE MIRCOBARN AND ADDING MORE SOLAR PANELS.

DURING THE SPRING OF 2011 THE GHOSTSCOUTS WILL BEGIN THE SECOND PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT AT CAMP GHOSTWOOD. WE WILL BE ADDING A SECOND CABIN AND EXPANDING THE WATER AND POWER SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE GARDENS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A GHOSTSCOUT AND PARTICIPATING ON OUR CREATIVE LIVING PROJECTS PLEASE LET US KNOW. WE ARE PLANNING ON HOSTING 2-3 GHOSTCADETS FOR MONTH LONG INTERNSHIPS IN THE SPRING AND SUMMER 2011.

SINCE THE FALL OF 2008 WE HAVE BEEN WORKING FULL TIME AT CARTOON NETWORK ON A SHOW CALLED ADVENTURE TIME CREATED BY PENDELTON WARD. WE ARE THE HEAD DESIGNERS FOR THE WORLD OF THE SHOW. ADVENTURE TIME PREMIERES ON CARTOON NETWORK ON APRIL 5TH 2010. FOR NEWS ON THE SHOW CHECK OUT THIS BLOG:

AFTER IT DEVELOPED A MILLION STRONG CULT FOLLOWING ON THE INTERNET CARTOON NETWORK BOUGHT THE RIGHTS TO DEVELOPE IT ADVENTURE TIME INTO A SERIES.

ADVENTURE TIME!

POLYGLOT VOLUME ONE: OFF THE WAGON IS A 140 PAGE BOOK MADE UP OF ELEVEN SHORT STORIES WE HAVE DRAWN OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS:

DREAMING THE WORLD AWAY, SNOWDAY, A LABOR OF LOVE, COLLECT CALL, NOT GOOD, LE VOYAGEUR, GREAT CHILDHOOD MYSTERY, SHARKBOX, EDUCATION, POOP COOKIES, AND SHARKBOX 2.

INSIDE THE PAGES OF POLYGLOT YOU WILL FIND: PENISES FALLING OFF OF BOYS INTO URINALS, HANDS COMING THROUGH TELEPHONES, BOYS EATING POOP, DEAD CHILDREN, DEAD ADULTS, INSECTS EATING TEACHERS, WOMEN VOMITING, SHARK DISPENSING MACHINES, PEOPLE WITH CANCER, MONSTERS GETTING SHOT WITH ARROWS IN THE EYE, FRENCH BODY BUILDERS, AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE WILL BE SMOKING CIGARETTES.

SOME OF THESE STORIES HAVE BEEN SEEN IN ANTHOLOGIES, NEWSPAPERS, BOOKS, AND ON THIS WEBSITE. SOME OF THESE STORIES HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN ANYWHERE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY WILL EVER BE COLLECTED IN ONE PLACE. THE BOOK WILL ALSO CONTAIN A SET OF DRAWINGS WE DID FOR A GALLERY SHOW IN NEW YORK CITY A FEW YEARS BACK.

POLYGLOT WOULD HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED YEARS AGO IF DREAMING THE WORLD AWAY HAD NOT GROWN TO MORE THAN 50 PAGES LONG, INCLUDING 10 FULL COLOR DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS. OUR IDEAS ABOUT THE BOOK HAVE CHANGED MANY TIMES AND EACH TIME IT HAS BECOME MORE MAGICAL. THE LAST PAGE HAS BEEN INKED AND THE BOOK HAS BEEN COMPLETELY LAYED OUT. SEVERAL PUBLISHERS HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN PRINTING IT. WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO FIND SOMEONE WHO WILL DO SO IN A RENEWABLE MANNER SOMETIME IN 2010.
