Inspirational Office Moment: Rex Ray calendars

Graphic designer and artist Rex Ray has been getting a lot of blog love lately—Design for Mankind posted about his new book, Rex Ray Art + Design, How About Orange blogged his Jonathan-Adler-exclusive prints, and Leah Hennen found framed RR prints on eBay for her More Ways To Waste Time post—but frankly, we're more excited about his new line of desktop paper products for Chronicle Books, particularly the address book and the wall calendar (which doesn't actually come out until July 16, but you can start wanting one now).

The address book, which is available now, is about 4 by 6 inches and has a clear vinyl jacket to protect the pretty paper cover (at left), and goes for $13.95. Scroll down for a detail shot of the inside.

Here's a sneak preview of the oversize (13-by-16-inch) 2009 wall calendar, which also comes with a poster. I would suggest marking your calendar for its launch date, but, well, you know.





















It's really beautiful and not too girly, which is great for shared workspaces.
