It took awhile to compile this post and its based on an artist whose work I love, Rex Ray. He passed away last week and I was very sad to hear he had passed.

If you’re not familiar with his work, this is a wonderful video interview with Rex Ray and shows an array of his work and how he moved from being a graphic designer to a fine artist.

Your artwork, you vision and your passion will be missed, Mr. Ray.

  1. Thank you for sharing this with us, Ana. The samples of his work you included are amazing. I especially like the one with circles.
