Rex is in the news because his track side murals were destroyed by an anonymous graffiti cleanup crew. Rex says that the project to replace the murals will be known as “Transition at the Trax: A legal mural as part of Alta Vista Studio Program”. David Almaguer will be leading the project and the current plan is to rotate graffiti on the track side of the buildings every two months or so. Paints have already been donated by the City of San Antonio, the spray paint budget was donated by Bihl Haus Arts and additional acrylic paints by Asel Art Supply.
See the gallery of images below as a record of what was lost:

Because we’re a little hard to find, and because we love to network, we’ve created a Texas Cannons of Proportion group on facebook that will hopefully allow us to more smoothly notify all our friends, family, customers and patrons of any news worthy items on the horizon of TCoP.
The Texas Cannons of Proportion is the name assumed by five artists who began holding contemporary art exhibitions together in 2008. They are David Almaguer, Rex Hausmann, Kyle Martin, Russell Stephenson, and Patrick Winn. More about Us Here!
