DREAMING THE WORLD AWAY.

DREAMING THE WORLD AWAY IS A BOOK ABOUT A BOY RECORDING THE SOUND OF A TREE. ITS ALSO ABOUT THE OWLS WHO LIVED IN THE TREE UNTIL THE BANDITS BROKE IN, OR WAS IT THE OWLS WHO BROKE IN ON THE BANDITS? ITS ABOUT THE FROG MEN WITH BREAD, AND ITS ABOUT MAKING TOAST ON A CAMP FIRE. ITS ABOUT THE UNIVERSE IN LIQUID FORM, AND ELEPHANTS PULLING MUMMIES IN WAGONS. ITS ABOUT DREAMS AND GHOSTS, AND ITS ABOUT IDEALS AND WORLDS. ITS ABOUT WHALES AND WHALING SHIPS. ITS ABOUT THE FOREST AND THE OCEAN. AND ITS ABOUT A MOTHER WHO LOOSES EVERYTHING ANYONE COULD EVER HOPE TO HAVE.

DREAMING THE WORLD AWAY BEGAN AS A SHORT STORY FOR A BOOK CALLED POLYGLOT. WHEN IT GREW TO TWO AND THREE AND FOUR TIMES THE LENGTH OF THE OTHER STORIES IN POLYGLOT IT WAS CLEAR THAT IT HAD BECOME ITS OWN BOOK. WE SET ASIDE POLYGLOT AND CONTINUED WORKING ON DREAMING THE WORLD AWAY IN BETWEEN ILLUSTRATION JOBS. DURING THAT TIME WE ALSO BEGAN WORKING ON A FULL COLOR STORY CALLED: FALLING APART. BY THE TIME WE FINISHED THE 1O COLOR SPREADS FOR FALLING APART WE REALIZED THAT THE TWO STORIES WERE ONE IN THE SAME. FALLING APART FIT PERFECTLY INTO DREAMING THE WOLRD AWAY AS THE DISTURBING DREAMS OF THE MAIN BOY. ANOTHER INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS STORY IS THAT WE BEGAN WORKING ON IT SHORTLY AFTER WE BEGAN PASSING MUCH OF OUR TIME ON MYSTERY MOUNTAIN, WHICH IS NOW THE HOME OF CAMP GHOSTWOOD.

THE LAST PAGE FOR THIS STORY HAS BEEN DRAWN, SO ONCE WE DRAW THE COVER WE'LL BE HEADING INTO POST PRODUCTION. WE HAVE TO FINISH SCANNING THE PAGES AND ADDING GREY TONES TO THE BLACK SECTIONS. WE HAVEN'T SHOWN THIS BOOK TO ANY PUBLISHERS YET, SO WE'RE PROBABLY STILL AT LEAST A YEAR AWAY FROM PRINT. WE ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN EXPLORING RENEWABLE METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR ALL OUR FUTURE PUBLICATIONS, SO THAT MAY ALSO POSTPONE PRINTING. WE MIGHT PRE- PUBLISH IT ON THIS SITE.

POLYGLOT.

POLYGLOT IS A BOOK OF OUR COLLECTED SHORT STORIES. SOME OF THE STORIES HAVE APPEARED IN PRINT, SOME OF THEM HAVE APPEARED ON THE INTERWEB, AND SOME OF THEM HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN BY ANY LIVING THIRD GRADER WITH HEADGEAR AND A SMOKERS COUGH.

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 CIGARATTES.

POLYGLOT WAS INTENDED TO BE COMPLETE AND RELEASED A FEW YEARD AGO. WE HAD A PUBLISHER LINED UP AND A SHOW TO DEBUT IT. WE SET TO WORK ON THE FINAL STORY, THE STORY THAT WOULD MAKE POLYGLOT EXTRA SPECTACULAR. IT TOOK US A WHILE TO FIGURE IT OUT, BUT THAT STORY JUST KEPT ON GROWING, PAGE AFTER PAGE UNTIL THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD PUT IT IN POLYGLOT. IT WAS JUST TOO LONG. SO WE DID THE ONLY THING THERE WAS TO DO, WE CLOGGED THE TOILET. YES, BUT WE ALSO SET POLYGLOT ASIDE AND KEPT ON DRAWING OUR WAY DEEPER INTO THAT DAMN STORY. EVERY TIME WE THOUGHT WE HAD IT CORNERED IT SLIPPED AWAY THROUGH A SECRET PASSAGEWAY IN OUR MIND. THAT STORY HAS SINCE GROWN INTO ITS OWN BOOK CALLED: DREAMING THE WORLD AWAY. WE HAVE FINNALY GO THAT BITCH LOCKED DOWN. WE HAVE THE LAST PAGE DRAWN. SO ONCE THAT STORY IS FINISHED WE WILL PROBABLY STILL HAVE TO MAKE A NEW FINAL STORY FOR POLYGLOT. PERHAPS WE WILL JUST LEAVE IT AS IS. WE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK OVER EVERYTHING AND SEE. THERE ARE SOME REALLY NEAT STORIES IN HERE. SOME PRETTY SICK ONES TOO, AND EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME WE STILL LOVE THE COVER.
