Jacob Frazier is an up-and-coming illustrator from the southern town of Tuscaloosa, AL, known for inebriated football fans and soon, Jacob Frazier. Living in Brooklyn, and attending both Savannah College of Art and Design, and Fashion Institute of Technology in the city, Jacob’s artistic influences range widely from a charcuterie of creative environments. Jacob has found recent success with live painting for fashion runway, private events, and portraits in the park for his fellow Greenpointers in McCarren. Many of his pieces divulge into commentaries on pop culture, queerness, minority representation, fashion, human experience and anything that may inspire him while zoning out on the L train. He is nude and unfortified to your gaze, and appreciates every second of it. Preview work & follow: @Watercolwhore
