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!

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!
