Kooji Meets Frazer Irving

This month's Creative Networks saw Illustrator and Graphic Artist Frazer Irving charting his climb to the top in the comic art industry and several members of Kooji Creative were on hand to see what he had to say. Bukkie, Steve and Stuart joined us as the event for a collective get together.

Apart from an amazing presentation of Frazer's artwork, from early experiments to the fantastic and varied portfolio of work including 2000AD, Marvel and his own projects such as Gutsville, he had a great deal to say about the comic art and illustration industries.



From meager beginnings jumping between work as a security guard, selling sex toys and various office jobs he eventually managed to make a break through with 2000AD, introducing his uniquely dark and often surreal style.



To say his presentation was inspiring wouldn't begin to do it justice. I was hooked from start to finish and walked away with even more determination to try new techniques and produce new artwork. Not only for paid work but for fun which Frazer mentioned is all important yet so easily forgotten about.
