Zipcode and Zorner are Matt Corkhill and Zak Orner, the proud pioneers and artists of Zane Aza Studios, a multi-medium art based company in pursuit of bringing quality art of all types to quality-based fans.
Zane Aza Studios was established in 2008, but was percolating long beforehand, for these two have artistry in their blood. Matt, a native of New York and Zak, a native of Texas, met in the days of teenage, adolescence angst at a school bus stop in Cincinnati.
Unbeknownst to either of them at the time was the fact that they were indeed artists in the making. That friendship, twelve years old and counting, has undergone a trial or two and both are glad to say they have pushed and progressed forward in spite of it all. Their lives have been influenced and inspired by many things but primarily: art, music, and people.
Their styles are as different and unique, yet complementary, as the two artists are to each other. Matt brings to the table conventional techniques of paintbrush and canvas, and can paint words on pages that create eye-opening and thought provoking imagery, leaving the observer or reader to draw their own conclusions. His digital side, rather strong, is in the backside of his pocket, as he uses it when the need arises. Zak offers a sleek, classy and clean sense of design, digital design and photography that sways us in to thinking it is on the brink of genius. He is an intuitively gifted writer, whose stories are provocative, thoroughly detailed and plotted, always leaving his fans fully aware and satisfied. Convention, also strong, is never far from hand and can be a swift weapon of choice.
Today, they live and work in the in the amazing city of Chicago, living it up and living it down and finding all that life has to offer them. The sky is the limit for their imaginations and the passion that drives them to do inspiring work, and to share it with the rest of us.
