Known simply by his pseudonym, Rex was one of the most iconic gay erotic illustrators of the 1970s and ’80s. With his sharp lines, hyper-masculine figures, and unapologetically raw style, Rex’s work pushed boundaries and celebrated queer sexuality at a time when it was still taboo to do so.
His art—often filled with leather, uniforms, and sweaty bravado—appeared in underground zines, bars, and bathhouses, where it became visual shorthand for an emerging, self-defined gay masculinity. Though fiercely private, Rex’s influence on queer visual culture is undeniable.
