All you've got to do is win...
Rather than post all the info every week, which would get a little tedious over ten weeks, check out last weeks news item for the low-down on this contest if you're not already familiar with it. (04.06.2008 NEWS: THE GREAT REX RAY GIVE-AWAY STARTS TODAY)
But, before we announce our first winner, here's a footnote to last week's news item from
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to clarify something regarding the Berkeley print. The poster wasn't so much 'withdrawn' as never sanctioned and printed by Bill Graham Presents. I'd designed and proposed the poster to BGP but they didn't want to produce it because they'd done a poster for Bowie when he'd performed there just a few months prior to this show. Budget cuts, lack of interest - for whatever reason they decided not to print a poster. Any poster. I liked the design so much I had 150 copies printed at my own expense (gasp!) and gave them to friends and bnetters at the show and kept a small stack for myself.
The misspelling of Berkeley was my own stupid mistake and really had nothing to do with the poster being withdrawn or not printed. BGP was, and remains, unaware that I printed the poster myself - although, they probably figured it out when it appeared in a small retrospective of my BGP posters at the Design Wing of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art last year. But by that time I'd stopped working for them entirely.
The second piece is a test piece, never produced in any form other than a few artist proofs. Thanks Blammo! and FU! - Rexer
