Ayers' first recognized art form was a charcoal drawing he did at the age of nine. His teacher took everyone to a museum to draw things. Ayers picked out a Mammoth and used charcoal because he enjoyed being messy. The teacher bought it and it first hung in a Springfield, Illinois museum. When his parents moved to Pacific Beach near San Diego, Ayers said he wasn't a good enough suffer to get the girls so he started drawing surfers and the girls liked it. A photographer for Surfer Magazine saw his work and bought one of his large charcoal drawings and later hired him to do work for the magazine at the grand old age of 14.  Ayers draws in pencil, crayons, charcoal, chalk, magic markers and pen and ink, Ayers has traveled the world to include living three years in Pakistan 2004 - 2006. While doing a documentary on the culture of Pakistan, Ayers walked the streets and met the people directly each day in Karachi. He soon started drawing pictures of some of the street kids who begged in Khada Market. Ayers says he wanted to remember them. "Drawing a persons face is an intimate action and there is a bond and relationship that occurs making you feel like you have found a small piece of their soul."
