Pigheaded from John Kinhart on Vimeo.
Pigheaded (2017, 90 min.) Filmed over a span of 10 years, Pigheaded tells the provocative life story of underground cartoonist and subversive satirist Skip Williamson. His unapologetic art exemplified the spirit of the 1960’s revolutionary movements. Williamson helped lead the burgeoning Underground Comix scene as a founder of Bijou Funnies and went on to publish his comics in Playboy, High Times, Abbie Hoffman’s Steal This Book, Jerry Rubin’s Do It! and more. Pigheaded faithfully portrays Williamson’s life as rebellious artist, irreverent pighead, and loving family man. All streaming and download profits go the the S. Clay Wilson Special Needs Trust.
