IN THE BEGINNING (9 YEARS AGO)
Born and bred East Londoner Vincent Fraser started his career as an Interior Designer.
I started my career working for an Interior design practice in the city, working on corporate design schemes for banks and offices. I found this to be too constraining and ridged, not giving me the creative freedom I craved. I started gravitating, (at first unconsciously), more and more towards the graphic elements of each new project. Here I found there was far more scope for my creativity.
I very soon realized that the only way that I would be truly happy was if I made the move into a more expressive medium and had complete creative control over the work I produced.
Within a couple of months I had left my job in the city and had set up a little workstation at home. At the time I wasn€™t sure whether I had made the right decision, but the acceleration of my career has been phenomenal. I was now appearing in the very same publications, which I used to refer to for inspiration.
Going into illustration was a natural progression for me, my whole life has been about creativity whether two or three-dimensional. I believe that the technical background that designing interiors gave me helped develop my keen eye for detail, colour and composition.
When I first started illustrating I didn't really have a clue, it was purely trial & error. I wasnt totally prepared for the harsh realities of running my own business, and in this industry things change so fast you need to stay ahead of the game; Constantly re-inventing your work showing adaptability & versatility. To me the creative process is about learning, experimenting and understanding; the exploration of ideas, building something from nothing. Everyday is a learning process that€™s what keeps my work fresh. I take inspiration from everyday things, which has helped me to develop a diverse range of styles to suit any brief and always aim to create powerful and visually striking imagery that captures the imagination of the viewer.
My approach to my career is the same as my approach to an illustration I have a rough idea of where I want to start, a very good idea of where I want to end, but really just want to enjoy the process in between.

Oscar Wilde once stated that “I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones”. Of course there is a waspish humour within such a remark but it also focuses upon one of life’s great delights: New stuff. New stuff. Whether it’s a relationship or a pair of socks or a delicious, shimmering piece of Youreyeslie gorgeousness you can’t quite beat the chemical high that stems from beholding something new, surprising and unknown. The website has been updated with nothing but newness.
