This guy’s got three mottos. You even have one? Didn’t think so. But you can still laugh at him. And others. Holy Headshots collects captivating headshots like his into a tome worthy of your coffee table or cube. There’s even a foreword by David Cross. Look inside.

Saw this Friday night in Petaluma. Made me laugh.
Then made me think of the hacked zombie signs.

Here’s a story on how it’s done.

Our very own Jeff Fang got third place in Gizmodo’s Ruin the Watchmen Movie By Inserting Stuff That Wasn’t In the Comic Book contest. Nice work, man.

See all the winners on the Giz.
