His ability to capture a lifestyle in a captivating still piece is truly remarkable and deserves the highest praise. ” Atomik Climbing Holds

“Movement! Jay captures movement! He bravely takes on subject matter that is in perpetual motion and sometimes even invisible; waves, birds, women, music, and musicians….. Spirit. First I thought he was a tripper, then I thought perhaps he was a lunatic, maybe he’s both, but now I’ve had the chance to hang out with him, I know what he is really is: A true artist. I’m proud to call him a friend and to have one of his paintings grace the cover of one of my EP’s”. Mishka Reggae Singer/Songwriter

“Jay’s art is sick! He has done us the favor of painting live on stage with us a few times. His art and our music share a common thread by reflecting the ocean minded community. I’m always mesmerized by his wave paintings and catch myself lost in a mind surf, pulling into his slabs and setting rails that match his brush strokes. Aside from his art he is a solid dude, family man and always eager to meet new adventure” Ryan DeMars Bassist, The Expendables

I’m proud to call him a very close friend as well.” Sean Davey Professional Surf Photographer

Jay is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a class act with a humanitarian spirit”. Surfers Healing Izzy and Danielle Paskowitz, Founders
“Jay Alders is perhaps best known for his mind blowing, body altering, and reality bending artwork. However, his creations just scratch the surface of who Jay really is. Other than the obvious “artist” title, after sitting down with Jay and picking his brain, I’ve learned he can best be described as the following: surfer, lover, world traveler, ambassador, veggie-lovin, ninja, and really, that’s not all”. Void Magazine Kayla Beckman, Writer
