Episode #82 with Vince Fraser

The Swinging Palm Trees Podcast

In this episode, I talk with Digital illustrator and Visual Artist Vince Fraser. Vince shares how he started within the industry and we take a look at how his craft is continually evolving. We discuss Afro-Futurism & Afro-surrealism through a Black lens, the importance of culture, telling the right stories and mentoring the younger generations. We also chat about NFTs, debate the use of A.I in art, and the tools of the trade. And of course, we talk about the quote that continually inspires Vince.

Having worked in the creative industry as a professional digital illustrator for over twenty years, the progression to Visual Arts was a natural one. Vince’s work has continued to evolve and sees himself as a New Breed of Artist in the Digital Age, combining a variety of skills including Film and Motion. With a keen eye for detail he is always experimenting in a playful way whilst pushing the boundaries from a visual aspect. Bridging the gap between Fantasy and Reality, Vince’s mission is to inspire, educate and empower positive images of the African diaspora. Previous clients include Nike , Adobe and MTV just to name a few, whilst gaining the attention of various musicians including Erykah Badu , Black Coffee and Outkast.
