Don’t settle for an uninspired life. You deserve to see what you’re capable of. Do you find it too hard to prioritize your creativity? I totally have been there…but there is another way. I can teach you strategies and practices that will help you find and stay in that inspired state
I didn’t stumble into my childhood dream job. It wasn’t just luck and it didn’t happen overnight. I’ve been chasing this my whole life. Living up to my artistic potential is all I’ve ever wanted to do. I have learned mindsets, perspectives and lessons along the way that can help you if you let me.
Do you feel like you’re meant for more but you don’t know how or where to start? Do ever wonder if it’s even worth it? Your destiny is waiting for you, but are you ready?
You will never do anything with your art, until you believe that you were meant to for a purpose bigger than you. Only you can do it and I can help you as your guide to show you the way.
Do you constantly self-sabotage your creativity? Do you start a project and then get side tracked by another idea? If you’re anything like I used to be, you probably have a pile of unfinished paintings or ideas just waiting for you to find them again. Commitment doesn’t happen by itself. Creativity is a relationship that will only give back what you put in.
Have you been looking for your style and can’t find it? Have you not yet discovered your unique voice? Being artistic is great, but not having a direction will just get you lost and discouraged. Sometimes we are just too close to see the big picture. Working with me will help you to uncover the uniqueness that’s been hiding within you all along.
Do you already have great work but have no idea how to bring it to the masses? For years I hid my work because I didn’t think it was good enough. I didn’t know how to find the “right people”. I have found proven ways to build a network that will support and share your work with influential people and get fans that adore you.

“I went from a very shy & socially awkward little boy who liked to draw, to getting named “Surf Artist of the Decade” by Brazil’s Alma Surf Magazine & painting on stage with famous rock stars in front of thousands of people.
My art has been licensed dozens of times to major brands. I’ve had my own signature line of skateboards, standup paddle boards, surfboards, puzzles and sandals sold in big retailers.
My artwork has been exhibited around the world, featured on magazine covers, broadcast on TV and on mainstream products.
I co-host a podcast with my wife Chelsea, who is also a successful entrepreneur and I have my first book coming out in 2019.
Career success is great, but I’m most proud of the lifestyle that I’ve designed. I’m a proud dad of three little kids, who were born within 18 months and I work from home and am there for all of the little moments.
How do I do it all? I can tell you this…None of this happened by accident. Let me coach you to find your potential!”
“I approached Jay because I really wanted insight and clarity on how to take my artist game from amateur to professional.
Jay helped me uncover blocks that are keeping me from believing in myself and being great. One thing I specifically liked is the live video format he uses, which essentially puts you right into his world and studio real time.
Jay is everything I needed and more. He has a very rare ability to share his wisdom effectively to others. The future is bright, the waves are big, and Jay is a Zen Master Coach! Best investment I’ve made in my art career by far.”

I’m so thankful I found Jay… if I’m blessed enough he will be my Artist Guru for the rest of my life! I truly have no words to express what really means this massive help I got from him.
I’m a native artist..in my skin, blood, and veins…but never really devoted myself to do it till now.
I realized I needed professional guidance to help me to unstuck and start somewhere between all my chaos. I found it really hard to do it on my own. It’s amazing how lonely and lost you can feel in this field as an artist.
I needed someone to walk with me through the process to help me to resolve obstacles in whatever form they appeared. To express myself without fear and go out there to the world and sell, market ..which didn’t make any resonance on me till now.
Jay truly gave me guidance on how to get out of where I’ve been stuck for decades!! And he did it in the blink of an eye. I’m still in shock.
He helped me to unblock inner conflicts. He went inside my points of view and truly showed me the way out with my own inner dialogue so I understood perfectly. And all of his solutions completely resonated with me.

I signed up for Creative Coaching by Jay Alders in a total moment of spontaniety. I have been a large fan of his work for many years and figured this could be the best thing for my art. I was not disappointed!
Jay’s intuitiveness goes beyond lines and colors but reaches into the depth of your soul to unblock your true potential. I am excited to see what the future holds as my creativity has been given a “moral purpose.” Cheers to this experience!

When I learned about Jay’s coaching program I instantly responded to the opportunity. I plan on making a career change in the future but I really needed help with the business aspect of things.
I also had some overthinking issues with my work. Jay has really helped me to live by the “just do it” motto with my art. Jay is very receptive to individuality and breaking down the issues to simple reasoning and helped me recognize things that I didn’t see in myself.
It has been a very motivating and perspective-changing experience working with Jay. He really does care and he really leaves room for the artist to find their own path and what works for them. He is such an understanding person.
I definitely have obtained a calmer peace of mind with the anxieties that come with being an artist. I would recommend Jay because he goes above and beyond the aspects of creative coaching, and leads you to become more fulfilled in many aspects of life.

I talk to a lot of artists and one problem that comes up more than most other things is that most of your problems as a creative or just as a human being is that we overthink things way too much. I hear from artists about not knowing what kind of canvas to buy or..…
In his book, On Writing Well, author William Zissner says, “I don’t like writing, I like having written”. Such brutal honesty is so refreshing, isn’t it? Why do creative people feel such guilt and shame about admitting that sometimes the process just sucks? I don’t always love working out, but I do it anyway because…

What Inspires You? We’ve all heard the cliché advice to go follow your inspiration and see where it leads you. But what if pretty much nothing is inspiring you right now…and you just don’t seem to care? Sound familiar? Every artist, musician, writer and creative person in general, go through periods of apathy. It’s like…
Do you ever find your creative flow all clogged up with stress, boredom or lack of inspiration? This past week I was given a freelance assignment by a massively famous band. I love (and hate) these projects. I love it because, well, they’re a mega-famous band and how freaking cool is that? My job rules.…

Yesterday, I had a bit of a blow to my ego when I received a bit of unwanted criticism. Being an artist and entrepreneur, I should be used to it now, but it still hurts. It wasn’t the first time someone felt a need to hate on me, it won’t be the last either. I…
Some people hate the winter. I love it. I thrive off of the space that this season gives me. I adore this hibernating period to recharge my mind, body, and soul. It’s often hard to find quiet time when work is pulling me every which way. But now as the house is still with the…
I remember when I was first learning to surf. I kept going for waves. I’d see one coming in, turn around and paddle as hard as I could. I committed to it. I was stoked and ready. Then I would miss it as it went right past me. Standing on my board still, I would…
