The Jedi Returns to Santa Barbara, Thanks to DJ Javier
Artist Hosts Free ‘Star Wars’ Screening and Celebration at Lobero Theatre on October 10
Next Thursday night, the Lobero Theatre will be crawling with Stormtroopers, Jedi Knights, and Wookies for a community event and free screening of Return of the Jedi to celebrate Santa Barbara artist DJ Javier’s latest out-of-this-world collaboration with Stance Socks.
Over the past couple of years, the Santa Barbara–born-and-bred artist and designer has taken his unique California-cool brand of artwork across the globe, painting giant murals and partnering on collaborations that celebrate surf, skate, and music culture with some of the biggest names in the business.
But along with all these collaborations — which include a line of Vans shoes paying homage to his Filipino heritage, a clothing campaign with Billabong, murals for Amazon and Shake Shack, and design work for professional sports teams like the Los Angeles Rams and Kings — Javier has kept just as busy supplying custom T-shirt designs and artwork for locally owned businesses such as Chaucer’s Books, Rascal’s Vegan, Lighthouse Skateshop, and Velo Pro Cyclery.
