Rex Ray Book Signing In La Tonight Plus New Mini-site

Put the blame on me and Rex Ray…

Rex ‘I can bounce a quarter off my ass’ Ray has a delicious new book out via Chronicle Books entitled: REX RAY ART + DESIGN.

Obviously there’s a spread regarding Rex’s design work for David Bowie. See the image below, supplied by Rex himself, complete with obligatory empty vodka bottle, full ashtray and crap feet.

Anyway, this ugliness aside, REX RAY ART + DESIGN is a thing of true beauty. The cover at the top of this piece really doesn’t do it justice. It’s one of those books I find myself flicking through a few times a day just to give me a lift. Honestly, it’s that good.

Obviously you needn’t take my word for any of this. Check out the Chronicle Books/Rex Ray minisite where you can order the book and other related goodies. There’s also a contest to win an original Rex artwork and five Rex Ray gift packs.

Rex, (real name Sofonda Cox) will be signing copies of REX RAY ART + DESIGN at Jonathan Adler on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles between 5 – 7pm this evening.

Check out the EVENTS section of aforementioned minisite for further details of this and other related events, including an exhibition of new paintings and collages at Gallery 16 in San Francisco that runs until December 30th, 2007.

Finally, stay tuned for our own Rex Ray contest in which we will be giving away incredibly rare customised David Bowie prints each signed by Rex and DB and each a unique artwork in its own right.

If you do go along to see the sickeningly talented bastard tonight, please lick his head for me.
