Conversations with Fraser Kershaw

Today we’d like to introduce you to Fraser Kershaw.

Fraser, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Every creation starts with an experience, then becomes a vision, then I guess it’s important to put some initial pieces together to make the vision a potential reality. Beginnings and endings are great when they connect to create another round.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Very bumpy, with moments of smooth bliss, that’s what makes this adventure of life.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Traditional tangible movements on canvas are the original roots to make a mid‑scene with modern digital hints. Each day one can progress with the vision by adding new fragments to see what works and never discarding but putting away what doesn’t work to the side, as it may fit back into the genetic make-up later within a project.

I think the sunny light of the warm sun on any new creation makes one smile. Continue to rearrange them into shifting storyboards that never settle, until it clicks. As the code keeps remixing lines one can apply choices in real time, turning frozen frames into living sequences where scenes begin to take shape. I guess we can all agree two views of work are ever the same if one is fearless, and as I step away and come back, the “method to these scenes” has moved. In that loop between our human impulse and digital logic, we are not just making pictures; but directing an ever‑evolving project one can only experience by standing still in front of the newer creation that didn’t exist yesterday.

Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
I believe your project must start with a feeling. Otherwise, it’s just homework or, feels like clocking in for mundane work. Experiment with the tools you have around you. Tweak what you learn, until it feels good inside and that becomes your personal language. At first, you will begin collaborating with your own internal language. When it’s time to collaborate with others, it should be organic and natural. Try not to fear isolation, as that might be the time to tap in. Cut straight to the heart of creation when it’s time. We naturally start something that makes us move into action when we feel rather than dictate. Apply a huge leap of faith and be willing to risk it all every time. Otherwise, who wants to be pretentious? Disregard the wins and the currency. Count the feelings, as those add true internal value. Provoking real human experiences is always by surprise, and mystical and can’t be generated from artificial visuals. Before the internet, those feelings were common and organic in society, as one couldn’t dictate them with ease. Because of our world’s new artificial adoption of digital dopamine, watching and tapping into it, may stall the needed energy and dull that project stuck inside. One may get the vision out fully, by going fully into the physical world and experiencing what one is trying to create. Seek what suddenly becomes in front of you, then the vision is right there, as your eyes can see it, and the reality is now before you, as the dream becomes tangible and that will hopefully guide the feet forward to the next dream. Strange to think about, but the process is never the same for all.
