Artist / Rex Koo

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Rex Koo studied graphic design in the UK before returning home to live and create. He entered the design and illustration scene at the turn of the millennium and shifted his focus entirely to personal creative projects in 2013. His work seamlessly moves between graphic design, typography, illustration, and comics, drawing constant inspiration from pop culture, especially cinema and music.
Beyond his design and illustration projects, Rex has published four illustration books dedicated to Hong Kong cinema and two comic books. His comic works have gained international recognition, winning awards at both the Japan International Manga Award and the Bologna Ragazzi Award in Italy.
