Posted from The Citrus Report
We just an email from our Italian connection, and they were talking to us about this illustrator, Alvvino, from Berlin, that does good work on apparel and commercially. We like the piece he did with Beautiful/decay up there.
Check out his site.

Jim Dirschberger & Rinee Shah
July 23rd, 2010
Posted from The Citrus Report
Tonight at FIFTY24SF Gallery is the closing party to Porous Walker’s ‘Haricots Magiques‘ show at FIFTY24SF Gallery which features a film festival of animations, short films, and music videos by SF filmmakers Jim Dirschberger & Rinee Shah. The show will also feature some new illustrative work by Rinee Shah AND raw unseen sketches by Jay Howell, Skinner, Porous Walker and Ferris Plock.
We asked Jim and Rinee 5 questions, and Rinee, whose illustration is above, answered first:
TCR: What are you guys doing tonight at FIFTY24SF Gallery?
Tonight is a showcase of both our films, some of the production artwork from Jim’s animations and some of my illustration.
TCR: How did you guys both meet?
I went to a local film screening that happened to play the first episode of the Forest City Rockers. I was instantly in awe of the humor and style of it. I found Jim after the screening and told him I wanted to be a part of it somehow. Turns out he was super drunk and barely remembers that interaction at all, but we’ve been collaborators and good friends ever since.
TCR: Talk about what you guys both do professionally? Rinee, your music videos? Jim, all the films you have done with Ferris Plock, Kelly Tunstall, Skinner, Porous…
I work as a freelance Art Director in advertising, mostly on web and video projects. Outside of that, I started a film collective called Church & Steak with Josh Lowman, and we’ve put out two music videos in the last year for Benoit Pioulard and Memoryhouse. We feel lucky that both videos have been received so well and are grateful to be able to work with bands that really inspire us.
TCR: Talk about Forest City Rockers?
Punks Git Cut!
TCR: Both of you, plug as much as you possibly can about yourself?
I think I fall somewhere in between a designer/illustrator and a filmmaker, and I love it when I’m able to work on a project that combines it all. My videos have screened locally at SF Indiefest, SF Shorts, and SFIAAFF and most recently at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles. You can see my work here: www.rineeshah.com.

Forgot how cool this Glen Beck illustration from Munk One was
July 17th, 2010
Posted from The Citrus Report
This illustration was done awhile ago for Juxtapoz, and Munk One just killed it on this depiction of uber-dick Glenn Beck and his McCarthyism ways. Sometimes it amazes us who gets to be famous in this world…

Jeff Soto mural in Chelsea, NYC
June 30th, 2010
Juxtapoz posted some pics of Jeff Soto’s new mural that he did in Chelsea, in conjunction with his newest solo show, Lifecycle, at Jonathan LeVine Gallery. You almost forgot the Soto had a bit of a graffiti past, as his fine art has sort of taken over in terms of his notoriety. We are definitely into the new work. New colors, characters are evolving, and some new universes being explored.
This is our favorite piece:

Boy’s Life Magazine

The guy’s at Burlesque Design found this ad in a 1974 issue of Boy’s Life, and are curious who the illustrator is. Do you know? We heard Vince Collins, but maybe somebody can confirm it.
