Jay Alders - “I love the passion but hate the obsession sometimes.”
Part One:
Jay Alders paints the most beautiful surreal figures and seascapes. To me it’s like looking into another world where everything is tranquil and serene.
“The Rebirth of Angels Intentions”
Angel: What is the very first creative thing you can remember as a child?
JA: I have always been drawing. When I was in kindergarden I used to make tattoos that id draw backwards and xfer them on to kids. instead of lemonade stands, I sold drawings. It just is something Ive always done..I dont know how not to draw.
A: Do you remember what you drew?
JA: Yeh,..skulls, snakes…little boy stuff
A: Where did these ideas to draw skulls and snakes come from? were you influenced by tv or comics?
JA: I hardly ever read comics..Id look @ the pics sometimes but never was into comics…I liked GI JOE and those sorta’ cartoons though..I watched a lot of tv then
