Have Bart draw a headshot of your favorite character on a 5" x 8" bristol board. Limited to 10.
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.

Bart Sears has been drawing comics, toys and concept art, creating worlds and writing stories for over three decades. A few of the many projects he’s worked on include, “Legends of the Dark Knight,” “Blade,” and “Turok,” and C.O.P.S and X-MEN toy figures. Bart created Ominous Press, featuring a pantheon of heroes, villains and their worlds.
Creator of the cult classic art tutorial column Brutes and Babes in Wizard Magazine, Bart has inspired a generation of artists, recently creating a new series of how-to-draw books called "Drawing Powerful Heroes."
Bart’s amazing artwork can be found in his creator-owned monthly series “Maiden,” appearing in Heavy Metal Magazine, created with his writing partner, Michelle Sears.

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!

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!
Hi all! Here with an update for you. We have some news, and some hopeful timeframes for you all.
As you may or may not know, Bart and his family recently moved across almost a dozen states. That process was a bit more involved than initially anticipated. On top of that, Bart is finally recovered from a bout of Covid that put him down for quite a bit.
But, the good news is, all the remainging sketches that Bart has to tackle will be completed, and sent out to our fulfillment company by end of next week (so roughly 5/20).
Once our fulfillment company has everything, it will take a little to sort orders, pack and get out into the mail, but we're hoping that process shouldn't take too long. We'll keep everyone posted along the way, and hopefully we're coming to the end of the wait!
Thank you for your support, and your patience. Just a little bit longer now!
Hey all,
We appreciate your patience on this project! Sometimes we forget that creators are also humans too, and have personal things that are going on. During this time, Bart has been in the process of selling his house, and moving a dozen states away. If you've ever done that, you know what an ardous task it is. On behalf of Bart, we all thank you for your patience with this, as he will be doing his best to get everyone their items as soon as possible.
The first bit is that early next week, all the backers that did not need sketches, or all the sketches that HAVE been done so far will be headed off to our fulfillment center, so they can package, and ship to each backer. Bart is going to work on all the rest of the outstanding sketches to have a second batch not too far behind. So, if you are NOT in the first wave of packages, do not fear, the rest will be coming shortly.
We know this has been a long time coming, but again, we're all human. Thank you for your support, AND your patience as we bring you your books and sketches!
Hey 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!
Well lookie look what we have here. One minor change to make to the blank covers, but otherwise all set!
Just 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!
Hi 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.
Hi everyone - there are still quite a few of you out there that bought commissions from Bart during the campaign but haven't gotten back to us yet with your requests. Just a friendly reminder to either respond to our email or write us at hello@wearezoop.com so Bart can add yours to his to-do list. Thanks!!
Eddie 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!!
Well, 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!
And now onto the stretch goals! There's 18 days left, so we're feeling good about adding some extras to the campaign! If the campaign reaches it's first stretch goal of $10,000, every backer will also receive a digital .pdf copy of Heads Will Roll! And, if we can push even further to $12,000, then every book will come SIGNED by Bart Sears! Can we do it?!!?
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?)
THANK YOU!
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Please e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll get right back to you!
We use Stripe for checkout, and the interface is entirely pre-made by them. Once there, you have 15 minutes to complete the transaction.
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.
