As part of my education on grids, I document them wherever I see one, or one sees me. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a305a9ce45a7c37009a10c7/t/5ae2722caa4a99e3aabec2e4/1524704978148/ Art Windshield Grid, acrylic pen drawing on digital photo print, 17 x 22 in. Drawing grids on my photographs is the logical extension of drawing grids on other printed surfaces, from found packaging materials to newspapers. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a305a9ce45a7c37009a10c7/t/5afb200c352f5387f194e14a/1526407180775/ Art Light matters. One can't help but be moved and inspired by light. This inspiration led me to isolate and focus the camera on just the light alone. To my utter surprise, the light shapes shot outside my studio took on a physical presence. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a305a9ce45a7c37009a10c7/t/5ae8ad702b6a282328136feb/1525198192923/ Art Untitled, various pens on handmade paper, 19.5 x 30 in. The grid is a visual metaphor for the fact that we are all connected. As a net thrown into the ocean, it will gather all that cannot pass through it’s open spaces. My interest is in understanding this form and it’s possibilities to make connections that I have not yet experienced. https://www.michaelrey.com/dummy-demo daily 0.75 2017-12-13 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a305a9ce45a7c37009a10c7/t/5a307eeb24a694311d39757b/1513124531098/ Grid (DEMO) - Criss Crossing Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Although we were able to publish only three issues, the Picture Newspaper became well-known in the design world and served as a model for later image-rich publications. Some of the contributors included: Bill Cunningham, Richard Avedon, Man Ray, Annie Leibovitz, Richard Bernstein, Edward Steichen, Toscani, Ralph Gibson, Leni Riefenstahl, Antonio Lopez, Milton H. Greene, Peter Hujar, Richard L. Schaefer, Christian Piper, Chris Callis, Victor Hugo, Richard Misrach. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a305a9ce45a7c37009a10c7/t/5afb219f0e2e7272966f0055/1526407583138/ Past Can’t elope, collage on photo print, 1981 It would be great to say that the past is the past and I am on to new things, which I am. But the reality is also that instead of leaving the past behind, it is constantly calling me to continue with projects and/or ideas imagined long ago. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a305a9ce45a7c37009a10c7/t/5afb22bd1ae6cf834bf40c66/1523574311932/ Past CalArts and MOCA poster for Explorations, a performance arts series in the early 80’s. While communicating a client’s message is at the heart of graphic design, the process has always taken me on a journey of new possibilities in pure imagery and form. https://www.michaelrey.com/rust daily 0.75 2018-03-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a305a9ce45a7c37009a10c7/t/5a9f28e79140b73a63406601/1520380135747/ Grid On Photos (DEMO) Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.
