Additional Details

Ziering studied at The School of Visual Arts under Ivan Chermayeff and Bob Gill. His illustration work for Fortune 500 companies and cultural institutions, such as The Metropolitan Opera and Cirque du Soleil, has earned him several ANDY awards, the highest honor awarded to commercial illustrators.
While working as an illustrator for more than forty years, Ziering kept his erotic work hidden away until he showed it to Leslie Lohman who was so impressed that he included Ziering's work in a group show that year, followed by a solo show titled "Secret Sex" in 2004. He now devotes his time to expressing his personal artistic vision in his New York City studio.
