RAY ZONE COMPLETES COLOR 3-D MUSEUM DISPLAYS

	Ray Zone, 3-D artist/writer and publisher, recently completed work
on a series of four large wall-mounted color anaglyph displays in
conjunction with a gallery exhibition  titled "1699: When Virginia Was the
Wild West," sponsored by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation at the DeWitt
Wallace Gallery in Williamsburg, Virginia.
	The color 3-D comic-style art was drawn and digitally colored by
artist Brian Stelfreeze of the Gaijin Studios in Atlanta, Georgia who
worked from original concepts created by Cary Carson, the project director.
Working with digital files produced in Adobe Photoshop, Zone converted
Stelfreeze's art to 3-D and produced full-color anaglyph, or "polychromatic
anaglyphs" of the final art.  Zone also provided the red/blue anaglyph
glasses used for viewing the wall-mounted displays.  From Zone's completed
digital 3-D files large-format ink-jet prints were produced and mounted for
museum exhibition.
	The four anaglyph displays feature an introductory cover-style
image and two pages depicting "Bacon's Rebellion," a formative historical
event in Williamsburg history that happened 300 years ago.  In addition, a
large bird's-eye view of Williamsburg, as it appeared in 1699, is on
display in 3-D in the gallery.  The exhibit is mounted in conjunction with
a series of lectures to run through October, 1999 and is a part of a
Tri-centennial celebration of Colonial Williamsburg which numerous Virginia
state agencies are sponsoring along with the Colonial Williamsburg
Foundation.
	"The exhibition is a winner," stated project director Cary Carson.
"And Bacon's Rebellion in 3-D steals the show.  Adults stand around and
reminisce about the 3-D movies they saw as teenagers, and kids put on the
glasses and grope toward the illustration reaching out to touch the jumping
pig and the roaring cannon.  Everybody's delighted."
	The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation was so pleased with the
exhibit and the 3-D artwork, that it commissioned Stelfreeze to draw a
40-page color comic book to illustrate Williamsburg history from a script
written by Cary Carson.  The comic book includes 4 pages of color 3-D  with
the climax of Bacon's Rebellion and the birds-eye view of 1699 Williamsburg
as a double-page spread.  A fifth page of 3-D by Ray Zone explains "How 3-D
Works" and depicts Louis Ducos du Hauron, the inventor of the anaglyph, in
3-D.  The comic book includes bound-in 3-D glasses provided by Ray Zone.
	A limited number of the "1699" comic books are available from Ray
Zone for $5 each postpaid at:  3-D Zone, PO Box 741159, Los Angeles,
California, 90004.  For more information about the exhibit itself, visit
