<br />
Finally set up my tumblr, only two years later.<br />
<br />
Not sure if I'll keep updating here because I feel like blogger has been a bit sparse the last couple of years (somebody prove me wrong!). I've probably jumped onto the tumblr train too late<br />
but like, you know, whatever.<br />
<br />
To check it out follow this link: <a href="http://davidtolugraham.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">davidtolugraham.tumblr.com</a><br />
<br />
I guess that wave is a hello and goodbye.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the 7 years.</div>

So I drew Charmander the other day for Sketch Dailies...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then you know, nostalgia kicked in, and I had to draw the other original starter Pokemon;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Squirtle and Bubasaur.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The old Charmander was my original starter from 1999.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always maintain, it was a tough yet right choice.</div>

Looks like it's a standoff.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like that gif comics are a thing,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know what they say, gifs are good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To celebrate 70 years of Tove Jansson's <a href="https://www.moomin.com/" target="_blank">Moomin</a> this year, I sketched a Moomin character every day for a week and posted them on <a href="http://instagram.com/davidtolugraham" target="_blank">instagram.</a> Here they are, all together!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Now, why don't you have your own Moomin week?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
AKA 'Not so Secret 7" 2015'<br />
<br />
Remember that exhibition I was going on about <a href="http://www.davidtolugraham.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/secret-7-2015.html" target="_blank">last month?</a> Of course you do, and if you don't, simply scroll down a little.<br />
<br />
Well sale day has passed, so I can reveal my record cover here!<br />
The sleeve I designed was for the delightful track <b><u>Sledgehammer</u></b> by <b><u>Peter Gabriel:</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div align="center">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyAJpAfphkeWs3NpoXjSrHeL6EXEVYp7JCbIRx9yw7ltVWnnYofApttq5QDzGn_qCU0xr5o00RMQviJ9NYcIEXon2qTQHm4s7vrLjuJuy4U3WdbbHImabDdmgUx4KHpHXDsGGuto_jzZMN/s1600/381-SLEDGEHAMMER-Cover-Peter-Gabriel-Secret-7s-David-Tolu-Graham-WEB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyAJpAfphkeWs3NpoXjSrHeL6EXEVYp7JCbIRx9yw7ltVWnnYofApttq5QDzGn_qCU0xr5o00RMQviJ9NYcIEXon2qTQHm4s7vrLjuJuy4U3WdbbHImabDdmgUx4KHpHXDsGGuto_jzZMN/s640/381-SLEDGEHAMMER-Cover-Peter-Gabriel-Secret-7s-David-Tolu-Graham-WEB.jpg" width="570" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The song's all about sex you see. It's filled with many creative innuendos that stick in your mind. The type you don't notice as a kid, but very much resonate with you as an adult<br />
(well, that's what I found).<br />
<br />
The song reminded me that once you discover something’s an innuendo,<br />
<div class="p1">
it’s kinda hard to get out of that often amusing mindset, and that's what this cover's about.</div>
<br />
Why a sea of aubergines?<br />
Well, *ahem* they're the innuendo of today... trust me, they resemble a certain appendage.<br />
Look up 'sexting' and 'aubergine/eggplant' and you'll know what I mean.<br />
On second thoughts, don't do that.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For good measure here's the back of the record sleeve:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ouch indeed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't, you need to see the video for this song. It was extremely ahead of it's time:<br />

Well for those of you who haven't, it's an annual event in which seven tracks by <a href="http://secret-7.com/index.php#music" target="_blank">seven influential musicians</a> are pressed to 7" vinyl 100 times. Each record is given a unique sleeve designed by one of 700 creatives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which creative designed each sleeve & what song it's for remains undisclosed until the record has been bought at the end of the exhibition on May 4th. The proceed go to <a href="http://www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk/" target="_blank">Nordoff Robbins.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
All I can tell you is that I designed one this year, but which one?</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
Right now it's a secret to everybody.</div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
The exhibition is open right now! </div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
This year the record sleeves are on display at Somerset House. There's a bunch of extra activities going on whilst the exhibition is in full swing, including a chance to press your own music session to vinyl! Be sure to check it out! It's pretty much the weekend, so you know what to do.<br />
<br />
...and so, the tracks.<br />
You can have a listen to them here (with the help of Spotify):<br />

Say hello to the incorrigible Queen of Hearts, and the Vampire hunter himself; Blade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hear they both have a penchant for cutting off heads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, I'd imagine these two would be one of the odder 'ships of our time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="p1">
“So Mr. Benn, which costume would you like to try today?”</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_Benn" target="_blank">Mr. Benn</a> you ask? The guy in the suit and bowler hat! Oh ok, I’ll explain…</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
He was the title character of a British TV show in the early 70’s, but man that show had some staying power, they still showed it when I was a kid. Who know’s it’s probably still airing today!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
It was about a normal guy who went on extraordinary adventures. He would always go to the same fancy dress shop, where a fez sporting shopkeeper would invite him to try on a costume. </div>
<div class="p1">
He’d then head through a magical door in the changing room, and find himself in a new world dictated by his costume!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I heard a rumour that a movie based on the show is back in the works, but I can’t for the life of me remember where I heard/read that rumour. In retrospect the optimistic part of me probably made it up. But hey if it’s not true, come on, we all know that that film is going to pop up some time soon.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I can see the trailer in my head, there’d be at least two explosions (because films), and would close with a back shot of Mr. Benn, standing in front of a wall of costumes. As he turns round the music stops, and the shopkeeper slowly says the first line of this post.</div>

Happy New Year everyone! (Yes, I know it's February, but still) Here's a song!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Stumbled across this in late November, and kinda couldn't stop coming back to it throughout the rest of the year. It's part of a pretty delightful EP of duets by <a href="http://www.thumpers.co/" target="_blank">Thumpers</a><br />
rather charmingly titled <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/together-ep/id933979013" target="_blank">'Together'</a>.<br />
<br />
Above is just the carefree, joy filled image that pops into my head whenever I hear it.<br />
<br />
A stark contrast to what it's actually like in the UK at the moment.<br />
Is drumming on a warm beach an odd thing to strive for?</div>

It's Swan in Icelandic, which you have certainly guessed by now;<br />
the title to this captivating lullaby from <a href="http://rokkurro.com/" target="_blank">Rökkurró</a>, that I've listened to far too many times.<br />
For those of you wondering what is being sung, here's a snippet, it begins like this:<br />
<br />
'Alone she sat by the lake, and sang to him, bittersweet songs, until he appeared.<br />
Swan, swan, please tell me: where to do you sail when the Sun goes?'<br />
<br />
I simply think it's a lullaby worth passing on.</div>

Recently I was commissioned to illustrate the song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIIxlgcuQRU" target="_blank">"Maps"</a> by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs<br />
for the summer issue of <a href="http://www.thegirlsare.com/" target="_blank">The Girls Are</a> magazine. I had a couple of ideas for it,<br />
and this is the one that didn't make the cut, but that's ok, 'cos I made that call.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see the one that made it in <a href="http://www.thegirlsare.com/store/products/tga-magazine-03/" target="_blank">issue #3, out now!</a><br />
<br />
C'mon, I had to plug that.</div>
