This hump day (aka tomorrow) will be the last day to come explore Move #19. With over 20 artists, this is a show that tickles the brain. Rich Jacobs has a knack for mixing things up and for the 19th time he's hit the nail on the head. So you've been warned. Tomorrow is the last day to check out MOVE #19.
Tell your friends.
As promised... two more "Move" artists for your viewing pleasure.

Since there's such a large number of artists involved in Rich Jacobs 19th installment of "Move", we thought breaking it down into smaller bits would be a good way to help you get to know the art behind the names. Starting...
....now.
A native of Queens, NY, Jordon Isip’s mixed-media works have been featured in publications like The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Time, The Atlantic Monthly, Adbusters, and Juxtapoz. He received his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and his work has been showcased across the United States in various galleries. His work has also reached international galleries including the Musee D’histoire Contemporaine in Paris and the Galleria Comunale D’Arte Moderna E Contemporanea in Rome. He has claimed Brooklyn, NY as his new home since receiving his BFA.
Jordin has brought his knowledge to instruct at Rhode Island School of Design, Tyler School of Art, and School of Visual Arts. Presently, Jordin is an instructor at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute.
Brooklyn, NY is the current stomping grounds for Eric White. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, he received his BFA studying illustration at Rhode Island School of Design. Eric then moved to California where he spent the following decade before moving to his current location. His art explores the metaphysical and those things that exist far beyond our perception. However, Eric never seriously considered his paintings or drawings until the end of high school.
Galleries across the United States have featured Eric White’s work and he has also been shown in galleries in Tokyo, Paris, Toronto, Belgium, and Brussels

Thank you to everybody who came out last Thursday for the opening reception of Rich Jacobs " Move #19"- "He said he was enjoying the donuts for the most part, and laughing hysterically." Some of the art community's most innovative illustrators, photographers, graphic designers, music makers, writers (JockoWeyland), and all around good people gathered to celebrate the opening of "Move #19". With wine from Bear Flag, fresh donuts from Bob's in the tenderloin (rumored to have killer fresh donuts at midnight), and milk for your donuts, and rad art how could you go wrong.
The stories flowed like wine as the artists, most of which are old friends, shared anecdotes about each other, and caught up on current happenings.
