About Forge & Morrow

Founded in 2012, Forge & Morrow is the creative home of Fraser Shiers.

 

Fraser is an award-winning designer and CG artist based in Sydney, Australia. His work has been commissioned by some of the largest brands, advertising agencies and publishers across the globe. 

 

His background in architectural design, experience with the built and natural environments, and fascination with the way light shapes everything we see, underpins Fraser’s CG work. He brings strong design thinking to every brief, leading to work which responds directly to the problem at hand, rather than applying a uniform house style to every project. 

 

His work is characterised by its subtlety and refinement. Fraser crafts work, often highly technical and photoreal, that exhibits a meticulous attention to detail.
