Alders has collaborated and/or toured with talented friends such as: Donavon Frankenreiter, Matt Costa, The Slater Brothers, ALO, Sean Davey, G Love, Paula Fuga, Echo Movement, John Butler Trio, Rob Machado and Guns N Roses’ guitarist, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal to name a few.

Prestigious media outlets & organizations like Surfer Magazine, FuelTV, Surfline.com, SIMA, Line Up Magazine, Longboard Magazine, Eastern Surf Magazine, FHM Magazine, Penthouse Magazine, Curl Magazine, Alma Surf Magazine & GoOutside Magazine all showcased Jay’s artistic endeavors.

Wow!! I'm a huge fan of your work and I didn't even know you were on deviantART. Don't know if you remember, but I'm the teenager who wrote a poem inspired by one of your paintings. So nice to be able to follow you here on my favourite website =) (Smile) Peace Peace Peace Peace Peace and Heart Heart Heart Heart Heart

Ah man, I saw your acoustic guitarist piece and loved it - didn't realise the extent of your artistic achievements until just now checking out your profile and other paintings... it's all so beautifully done, you've a lot to be proud of!

oh, and... BUMBLEFOOT! Rock on, man - that's freaking awesome, I love his shit :D (Big Grin)

Take it easy bro - if you've a minute to check out the one painting I've got posted so far and offer a bit of feedback that'd be awesome... have an ace 2012, bro! Take it easy...

Drew!
