Hello, I'm Graeme (aka grohs), a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, graphic designer, art director, DJ and sound artist whose work focuses on everything and nothing in particular.
Most recently I've been drawing Dogs Responding To The Huge Tunes and folk's furry children as well as people portraits, but also produce many event posters, artwork for cassette label Tapeworm, portraits for FACTmag and Movember and several contributions to the Secret 7" exhibition.
As a huge fan of music I've been collecting records, hosting nights and Djing for almost 30yrs - presenting an adventurous collage of sounds from balearic ambience to psychedelic disco oddities, synth-infused dub to wild post-punk. I've played for Solid Steel (Ninjatune), I Love Acid, performed an automotive based set in a multi-story car park and Dj'd a live Soviet-inspired soundtrack to silent film 'Man With A Movie Camera'.. amongst other things. I play out regularly across London, many strictly vinyl sets, and I've created themed mixes such as 'Songs In The Key Of Sea' for The Chill Out tent, and curated music for events dedicated to artists such as Raymond Scott, Miles Davis and Slavoj Zizek.
Live performances include site-and-time-specific experiences using field recordings, radio and found sound. Most recently I’ve developed an ongoing immersive project combining my love of art and sound called Soundtraits.
I've worked as Head of Creative, Art Director and Senior Creative Lead producing best practice creative for many leading global brands (including Sony, Honda, L'Oreal and Branston) across social.
I was born in Scotland and attended the University of Strathclyde, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Product Design.
I live in West London. I'm also this guy, ex-F&S, DJ and maker of sounds.
If you have any questions, would like to work with me or just want to say hello, feel free to give me a shout.
Cheers!
