Ed Gray has recently finished working on a new book about his artistic journey, covering the last five years of exhibitions.

This hardback limited edition book is illustrated in full colour and features sketches and paintings created in cities from three continents. 'Rock of Eye' will be published in autumn 2013. Contact GX gallery for more details.
Ed has also been sketching at the Emirates stadium Arsenal for an exhibition celebrating the centenary of Arsenal's move from Woolwich arsenal to Highbury.
