CONCEPT
All my life I’ve loved drawing heads. The structure of the face, human, alien, creature, is fascinating. The planes of the face reveal character and purpose, and reveal one’s very essence. I’ve drawn thousands of heads in my career, and hundreds of them on small 5 inch by 8 inch Bristol, and I’ve collected a bunch of them in these pages.
You might be asking yourself, “Headshots? Who cares? Who gives a gosh-darned patootie about a book filled with drawings of heads? And why on earth should I support this nonsense?” I can give you a few reasons, Maybe you like comic art. Maybe you like my comic art in particular. Maybe you find it interesting to look at a different take on famous characters you know and love. Maybe you’re an artist and think this might be a good reference guide to study different facial structures… or maybe you just appreciate the time and hard work that goes into drawing comics and like to be a part of the broader comics community? Or maybe, you just think this is too damn cool.
Bottom line, I would really be thankful for your support, no matter your reason.

A HEADSHOT A DAY
Heads Will Roll is filled with heroic visages of superheroes, warriors, gods and goddesses, many characters you will recognize, and some you won’t. Each day of this campaign I’ll be drawing a new head - specifically for this thick, little volume - these new heads will be of the most surprising characters, and most of them I’ll have never drawn before!
But I'd like to hear what YOU want, so I'll be putting it to a vote. Every day I'll be posting 2 choices on my social media pages for you to choose from (links below), and the winner gets added to the book and put up for sale in the Add-Ons section. So check back here often, as new reveals and making-of videos will be uploaded daily!

Day 1: Frankenstein's Monster vs. Darth Maul
Day 2: Elric v. Soloman Kane
Day 3: Lion-O (Thundercats) vs. Zandor (Herculoids)
Day 4: The Mandalorian vs. baby Yoda
Day 5: He-Man vs. Omni-Man

STRETCH GOALS
DELIVERY
All of the artwork is done, except the 30 new heads done during the campaign. The book should be completely laid out/print ready, except for these new heads, before launch, and completed right after.
So we should be going to print shortly after the end of the campaign, and we estimate the whole process to get everything made, shipped to our fulfillment partner and sent out to all supporters to be about 3 months.
So estimated delivery is November 2021 -- and we'll keep you updated all along the way!

Books Are Printed!
JordanHey all!
Very pleased to share that all the books have finally been printed, and are at Barts house! Since we smashed the stretch goal, ALL books are being signed by Bart! There are also a large amount of sketches that Bart is doing, both on backing boards, AND on some of the blank sketch covers as well. He's going to get them all done as soon as possible, but please bear with us all! Once all sketches are done, every book and reward will be sent to our fulfillment house, where they will then be sent out to you all for their forever homes!
We thank you for your patience, and enthusiasm for this project, and will keep you posted on these final steps!
Proofs have arrived!
ZoopWell lookie look what we have here. One minor change to make to the blank covers, but otherwise all set!
Book is at the Printer!
ZoopJust a quick update to let you know that the printer has the finished book and the printing has begun! We'll keep an eye on that progress, as well as all of the commissions that Bart still has to finish, and will hopefully have some exciting news for you again soon!
Update: October 21st
JordanHi all,
First of all, thank you all for your support and your patience. As you may have seen from our last update, or on Bart's social media, he is going through somewhat of a family emergency. Getting this book and all the sketches out to all the supporters is still a huge priority for us all, and we are working towards that goal. However, other "life" priorities have been taking up more time than expected. On that note, we apologize for any delays, but we truly appreicate your understanding, and support during this time. Everything is still moving in the right direction, just slower than we'd all have hoped.
Again, your support means so much to Bart and his family. Thank you again, and we will do our best to keep everyone apprised of the situation going forward.
Quick Update

Zoop48 Hours Left!
ZoopEddie Murphy thinks you're #1 if you decide to support this campaign. Last chance to grab the book and a sketch -- let's get to that second Stretch Goal!!

ZoopFULLY FUNDED!
JordanWell, that escalated quickly! A huge thank you from the Zoop team to all the backers who helped this project reach it's goal! We're so excited, and it looks like you are too! So many amazing sketches will be finding homes when this campaign is over!

Thank you all for the support, and for having some fun with us on this campaign! We're not done yet, we're going to see how far we can keep this thing rolling....... (see what we did there?)

ZoopFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I purchase more than 1 item?
YES! We encourage you to purchase more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.
What's the idea behind the Rewards and Add-Ons? Can I get both?
Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.
Will there be a post-campaign period where you can make changes and get add-ons through a 'pledge manager'?
No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it! And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
If I purchase rewards and then want to make changes to that purchase later on in the campaign, what is the process?
If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.
Where can I find your shipping rates?
Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.
Do you ship to my country?
Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS.
If I got a reward that requires some feedback from me, how do I let you know my request?
You could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.
Any other questions / comments?
Please e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll get right back to you!
How do I cancel a transaction?
What does Zoop use for checkout and when would my credit card be charged?
We use Stripe for checkout, and the interface is entirely pre-made by them. Once there, you have 15 minutes to complete the transaction.
Does Zoop save my credit card info?
Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.
