He has also contributed in a variety of books including; "Broken Wrist Project" and "Genius". His work has also appeared on a broad range of media, from fashion products, print to skateboards. In addition, Jacobs has curated exhibitions all over the country [in particular his famous MOVE exhibitions] and has collaborated with renowned graffiti artists such as; Barry McGee, Dalek, Shepard Fairey, Ed Templeton, et al. on various projects.
The Move shows have broken ground in uniting the most vital artists of the young generation. Many have developed national and international reputations such as, Margaret Kilgallen, Barry McGee, Shepard Fairey, Chris Johanson, Thomas Campbell, Michelle Lockwood, Eric White and Chaz Bojoroquez.
Their aesthetic is marked by broken boundaries of street culture, skateboarding, illustration, graffiti action, photography, painting and drawing. Rich Jacobs has worked to tie these artists (from San Francisco, L.A., San Diego, Washington D.C., Orange County and New York City) into a powerful cohesive movement.
