Here’s the first in a series of Z-paintings I intend to make. One for each confirmed crime is what I have in mind.

I guess I’ll get jumped on for being wrong on angles, distances, car placement etc. I’ll brace myself.

Here’s Lake Herman Road, painted in Photoshop:

(original resolution is 6000px wide)

I’ll post the following in this thread as they are done.

Oculus: Thank you for favoring us with you artistic ability. Your first installment (Lake Herman Road?) is genuinely spooky, and suggests the horror experienced by Z’s victims.

Wow! Impressive. Photoshop does this? I have it, but could never dream of creating something like that.


…they may be dealing with one or more ersatz Zodiacs–other psychotics eager to get into the act, or perhaps even other murderers eager to lay their crimes at the real Zodiac’s doorstep. L.A. Times, 1969

Thank you, Dag.

Thanks Tahoe. Well, it is hand painted from scratch, within Photoshop. Using a Wacom tablet. :)

Very nice work indeed. I like working in Photoshop myself with the Wacom for illustrating but it’s been a while. Hoping to get back into it when I get time. I Just recently rescued a UD-1212-R from my old house. It was from the design studio I used to work for and it’s a serial connection for mac. I have read though that it can be converted for usb with a few extra components and some soldering. It powers up and still has it’s pen and precision mouse so in theory is could work. I guess we’ll find out if and when I try. I’m using a Wacom Bamboo and it does the job although I’m tempted to get one of those interactive display ones. Only tempted though … for now lol.


I don’t know Chief, he’s very smart or very dumb.
