Heads is a collection of pen-drawings made by British artist David Esslemont.

A simple line is used to create various characters and expressions from the sublime to the ridiculous. Contortions and deformations arise with sometimes shocking brutality and absurd humour. Originally drawn sometime in the 1970s. Overall the drawings reveal the artist’s sharp and observant eye as he records the subtlest of details.
