Zak does splendid doodles.

Below are three samples from a series 9 drawings he was persuaded to photocopy and turn into a portfolio called Nege Inkleurprente vir Grootmense (Nine Pictures for Adults to Colour). Each picture is printed on a separate A4 page, and is unsigned. The idea was that the completed, coloured work would be a collaboration between Zak and the person who did the colouring in.
