DJ Javier × The Surfer’s Journal

The DJ Javier Collection

Threads spun from the beach, made for the street.

DJ Javier’s program is one The Journal backs, and is something we strive to hit on in our own creative endeavors—in print and everywhere else. As such, we asked the Santa Barbara-based artist to lay down his treatment on a selection of limited-edition TSJ merch. The result? A bold, humorous, and playful take on wave riding that pops. Grab yours before they’re gone.

In the process of crafting the designs, Javier invited us up to his studio for a walk through, and shared further insights into his many references—be they surfing, tattoo, or lowrider culture, among others—and how he blends them all together in an aesthetic totally his own.
