ZONE DOG!

This wonderful drawing arrived in the mail yesterday. I first met Gary in September of 1980, I remember clearly, we were standing by the pool at the Kubert School and we were introduced by Mike Chen. Later, Gary became my roommate at the Carriage House and he's been a friend ever since.

Woof!

Swimsuit Special

Ink and duo-Shade - 1991

ZONE and Ultra enjoying a summer day in the Meadowlands. This was done for the 1991 AMAZING HEROES Swimsuit Special. 

This image of Ultra is based on Lourdes Sanchez, my girlfriend at the time, although the face is entirely my own invention - the swimsuit was deep red. Scattered next to Ultra's towel is some of my favorite reading material from 1991, THE JAM by Bernie Mirault, YUMMY FUR by Chester Brown and EIGHTBALL by Danial Clowes.

This was scanned from a photocopy.

Kitty

Pitt Artist pen - 2012

ZONE and a scruffy, one-eyed puddle cat.

This was done for my student Val. Some people who collect sketches have themes for their sketchbook and when I asked Val if she had a theme for her sketchbook she said I could do what ever I wanted but if I wanted to I could do her favorite character Kitty Pryde. For anyone who doesn't know, Kitty Pryde is one of Marvel Comics X-MEN.

High Tension Wires

Pitt Artist pens, ink and colored in Photoshop - 2012

This was done in a students sketchbook and colored today in Photoshop.

Jump Stream

Markers on Bristol board – year unknown

Another one recently rediscovered in the vaults.

BARRIERS

Ink and PITT Artist pen - 4/12/12

This was done in a student's sketchbook - last year he asked for a sketch on the last day of school and the one I did was rather rushed.

This will be colored - soon.

FROM THE VAULTS

Marker and colored pencil on graph paper - year unknown

While cleaning out a file cabinet I came across a cache of ZONE material including this sketch.


Along with various sketches, finished drawings and ZONE miscellanea I believe I may have found the first ever ZONE drawing.


More to come...
