ALASTAIR GRAHAM
Born in 1945, Alastair first heard jazz at boarding school sometime in the late 50's, and his appetite for the music grew rapidly. By the time he left school in 1963 to travel the world, he had discovered such treasures as Mingus Ah Um, Blues and the Abstract Truth and Miles at Carnegie Hall (1961). His travels brought him to Capetown where he lived for three years and discovered Art, Wine, and Gil Evans.
Returning to London in 1967 to attend Art School, he failed as a painter but found work in animation. Whilst working as a producer with TVC in 1976, (the studio that had recently produced "Yellow Submarine"), and inspired by bands such as Weather Report and Herbie Hancock's "Mwandishi" Sextet live at Ronnie Scott's, he decided to become a freelance illustrator.
Over the years Alastair has illustrated books for Walker Books (UK) and Random House (USA) whilst continuing to design and storyboard animated films. In 1991 his first solo book, Full Moon Soup was published, and two years later worked for Disney on their Chinese feature "Mulan." More recently he devised and designed a 30-minute TV special "Katya and the Nutcracker" which was broadcast just after Christmas 2001.
2002 saw the publication of Impressions, and the first exhibitions of the collection were hung in Cheltenham (UK) and Vitoria/San Sebastian (Spain), North Sea Jazz Festival (Netherland)...

OLD RECORD SLEEVES EXHIBITION
(A selection from the Stojkovic family collection, Zrenjanin)

Opening of the exhibition
November 26th at 5 pm
Cultural Centre of Novi Sad, ART CLUB



In the '90s it was extremely difficult to keep one's head on one's shoulders, but it was equally difficult to watch and resist spiritual poverty. In those times a lot of dear people went away leaving only traces of reminiscences and good memories.
I was lucky, if it can be called luck, to get a 'Dual' record player together with a rather large collection of jazz records when I went to see a friend off. When you find yourself in a situation like that in your life, you realise that someone has given you their own loves, passions, nights, parties, loneliness for safekeeping, and you try to bring all that to life by carefully putting the needle to the vinyl.
This exhibition is just an attempt at reviving those days when vinyl was a window into the world, but also represented a mirror reflecting personality. So take a peek into your soul and have a laugh!
Dedicated to Toma Stojkovic and others like him.

Vladimir Stojkovic
