The Patterned Memo Cube
Is it just decor or does it have a function? I think it’s both! I found these adorable memo cubes from the Paper Source and thought they were lovely. I personally can never have too many ways to write notes, phone message, thoughts… anything that needs to be written down when you need it. You don’t need to have a boring regular note pad, you can add pretty patterns to your decor simply by adding a memo cube. Beside the phone I think is the most obvious and useful. How about in your front entrance table where you place your keys and mail, have a cube ready for whatever the mood may strike you; notes to your husband or kids reminding them to bring their lunch or their important homework or simply to say you love them. Add one to your night stand for those writers out there for those late night thoughts. Perfect for the home office too! There are so many possibilities to make use of these delightful note cubes… and frankly they are so cute, do we really need an excuse do we? I don’t think so.

I Heart Rex Ray
I can’t remember how I found this artist online, but I saved a link to Rex Ray’s book and looked further and found a talented artist. This is really my style of art, I have a hard time finding exactly what type of art I do like and I’m so tickled pink to have found this artist.
Check out his biography I found on his website, it’s pretty impressive!
Rex Ray is a San Francisco based fine artist, whose collages, paintings and design work have been exhibited at galleries and museums, including the The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, University Art Museum in Berkeley, San Jose Museum of Modern Art, The Crocker Museum in Sacramento, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, Cheryl Haines Gallery, Gallery 16, and Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions.
He is also a celebrated graphic designer. He has created work for Apple, Dreamworks, Sony Music, Warner Brothers, City Lights Publishers, Matador Records, Serpent’s Tail, The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Rizzoli, Powerhouse, Mute Records and Crown Books. His package designs for David Bowie, as well as for Joe Satriani, Diamanda Galás, Matmos, and Deee-Lite, have earned him an international reputation for his innovation in type and with original photographs, drawings, and collage. He has designed over 100 historic Bill Graham Presents rock and roll tour posters, including ones for The Rolling Stones, Patti Smith, REM, Bjork, U2, and Radiohead.
Video
I found this video where Rex Ray explains how he started and glimpses into his process.
Book
I can’t wait to get my hands on his book Rex Ray: Art + Design and peruse slowly page by page the beautiful artwork.
Book Description: Rex Ray’s highly collectible artwork is coveted in design as well as art circles. His color-bursting, curvaceous art graces the walls of high-design hotels, world-class museums, and hip restaurants, yet remains, as acclaimed author Douglas Coupland puts it in his foreword, ‘unslick, but superslick at the same time.’ Abstract and handcrafted, with a retro-futuristic mid-century feel, Rex Ray’s meditations on fluid forms are a rare combination of sophistication and decorative appeal. The first monograph to survey his multi-faceted work in various media including paper cutouts, mixed-media collages, paintings, digital prints, and the highly admired graphic design and music packaging that launched his visual career Rex Ray is a veritable trove of his sleek yet playful aesthetic.
