Notes:
V+ can be anywhere from 4 to 16V. -V is one volt less than V+. So for -12V output, use +13V input. The maximum current output of the circuit is about 280mA, more than enough for a few op amps.
For better regulation, a 79LOxx series regulator can be used.
A zener diode may also be used to regulate the output voltage.
