Rex Hamilton Art
Rex Hamilton Art Austin Texas
I’ve been working on a special commissioned art project with a friend I met while taking an Adobe Illustrator class at ACC. Collaborating creatively has been such a rewarding experience—and during one of our recent meetings, I asked him to sign my coffee tumbler from his Starbucks Artist Collaboration Series.
These tumblers are absolutely stunning—bursting with color and energy. Honestly, I can’t bring myself to use it… it feels more like a work of art than a cup!
One of my favorite pieces by him? The incredible mural overlooking I-35. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a must.
