Career
Irving has worked on Storming Heaven, a psychedelic tale based around Timothy Leary and Charles Manson (written by Gordon Rennie), and The Simping Detective and From Grace written by Simon Spurrier.
He has done illustration work for RPG companies like Wizards of the Coast, Hogshead Publishing and Guardians of Order, as well as small press publications like The End Is Nigh. He also does animations on Flash for advertising agencies.
Irving's style owes something to the art of Bernie Wrightson, but with a computer-driven edge. His work on Seven Soldiers: Klarion the Witch Boy has received some praise in the United States and writer Grant Morrison said:
| “ | I've loved his work since I first saw it in 2000 AD and it's great to see him develop a following in US comics. I've wanted to work with Frazer for a long time. He's a truly unique artist and the work he's doing on Klarion is mind-blowing. He's doing all the color work himself and has one of the most amazing senses of design and storytelling I've ever come across." | ” |
This led to further work at both of the Big Two, including the Iron Man: The Inevitable mini-series written by Joe Casey, and Silent War, a six-issue mini-series featuring the Inhumans, written by David Hine. As part of the Battle for the Cowl storyline he provided the art for the Azrael mini-series written by Fabian Nicieza.
Irving is responsible for the artwork on the Tertiary, Quandary and Quintessential phase CD release of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series adaptation.
He also provided the art on an arc of Grant Morrison's Batman & Robin series for DC Comics, which was initially announced as following Philip Tan's arc, but was the pushed back to after Cameron Stewart's run on the series and was finally confirmed to be in the issues after Andy Clarke's stint, starting with #13, in addition to drawing the second issue of The Return of Bruce Wayne. Other projects include the X-Men one-shot which was part of Brian Reed's Timestorm 2009-2099, the first and last issues of Phil Hester's Days Missing for Archaia Studios, and the new Xombi series for DC Comics.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
